Gwyneth begins solving for x in the equation 2(x-4)=5(4-2x)+4x. after applying the distributive property and combining like terms, which equation will gwyneth have to solve in order to determine the value of x?

2x-8 = 20-6x

Step-by-step explanation:

The distributive property tells us to multiply the term outside parentheses by everything inside:

2(x-4) = 5(4-2x)+4x

2(x)+2(-4) = 5(4)+5(-2x)+4x

2x-8 = 20-10x+4x

Combining like terms on the right gives us

2x-8 = 20-6x

we have

2(x-4)=5(4-2x)+4x

2x-4*2=5*4-5*2x+4x

2x-8=20-10x+4x

2x+10x-4x=20+8

8x=28> equation to solve

x=28/8

the answer is

8x=28

1.3

step-by-step explanation:

3x2=6   9x+6

bring down the 6 on both sides

6+6=12

12= 9x

divide by 9

12/9 =

1.3 =x
