Sagot :

Answer:

x = [tex]\frac{10}{3}[/tex] or [tex]3\frac{1}{10}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - 8 = 12 - 4x

1) Add 8 on boths sides:

2x - 8 + 8 = 12 - 4x + 8

2x = 20 - 4x

2) Add 4x to both sides:

2x + 4x = 20 - 4x + 4x

6x = 20

3) Divide 6 on both sides

[tex]\frac{6x}{6} = \frac{20}{6}[/tex]

x = [tex]\frac{10}{3}[/tex] or [tex]3\frac{1}{10}[/tex]
