8=3(x-4)-x equation
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
8 = 3*(x-4)-x
Expand brackets in the right part
8 = 3*x-3*4-x
Looking for similar summands in the right part:
8 = -12 + 2*x
Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$0 = 2 x - 20$$
Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
$$\left(-2\right) x = -20$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -2
x = -20 / (-2)
We get the answer: x = 10
