Question

$$8x-8=-4x+16$$

Solve for x

$x=2$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Add $4x$ to both sides.

$$8x-8+4x=16$$

Combine $8x$ and $4x$ to get $12x$.

$$12x-8=16$$

Add $8$ to both sides.

$$12x=16+8$$

Add $16$ and $8$ to get $24$.

$$12x=24$$

Divide both sides by $12$.

$$x=\frac{24}{12}$$

Divide $24$ by $12$ to get $2$.

$$x=2$$
