Solve the equation
x=16
Evaluate
9(1×x)−8(x−2)=2x
Remove the parentheses
9×1×x−8(x−2)=2x
Multiply the terms
9x−8(x−2)=2x
Move the expression to the left side
9x−8(x−2)−2x=0
Subtract the terms
More Steps
Evaluate
9x−2x
Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients
(9−2)x
Subtract the numbers
7x
7x−8(x−2)=0
Calculate
More Steps
Evaluate
7x−8(x−2)
Expand the expression
More Steps
Calculate
−8(x−2)
Apply the distributive property
−8x−(−8×2)
Multiply the numbers
−8x−(−16)
If a negative sign or a subtraction symbol appears outside parentheses, remove the parentheses and change the sign of every term within the parentheses
−8x+16
7x−8x+16
Subtract the terms

Evaluate
7x−8x
Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients
(7−8)x
Subtract the numbers
−x
−x+16
−x+16=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−x=0−16
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−x=−16
Solution
x=16
