Solve 2(2x-4)=10-(x 8)

Evaluate

2 (2 x - 4) = 10 - (x \times 8)

Use the commutative property to reorder the terms

2 (2 x - 4) = 10 - 8 x

Expand the expression

More Steps

4 x - 8 = 10 - 8 x

Move the expression to the left side

4 x - 8 + 8 x = 10

Move the expression to the right side

4 x + 8 x = 10 + 8

Add and subtract

More Steps

12 x = 10 + 8

Add and subtract

12 x = 18

Divide both sides

\frac{12 x}{12} = \frac{18}{12}

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{18}{12}

Solution

x = \frac{3}{2}

Alternative Form

x = 1.5
