8−500x4=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−500x4=0−8
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−500x4=−8
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
500x4=8
Divide both sides
500500x4=5008
Divide the numbers
x4=5008
Cancel out the common factor 4
x4=1252
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
x=±41252
