how to solve 6-(4-8x)=2(3x-5)
6 - (4 - 8x) = 2(3x - 5)
6 - 4 + 8x = 6x - 10
2 + 8x = 6x - 10
2 + 8x - 6x = 6x - 10 - 6x
2 + 2x = -10
2 + 2x - 2 = -10 - 2
2x = -12
2x / 2 = -12 / 2
x = -6
Check it.
6 - (4 - 8x) = 2(3x - 5)
6 - (4 - 8(-6)) = 2(3(-6) - 5)
6 - (4 + 48) = 2(-18 - 5)
6 - (52) = 2(-23)
-46 = -46
