Question

Solve 8(x-8)=2(x-2) Pls show all workings

Answer 1

8(x-8)=2(x-2)
8x-64=2x-4
8x-2x=-4+64
6x=60
x=60/6
x=10

Answer 2

$8(x-8)=2(x-2)\\\\8\cdot x-8\cdot8=2\cdot x-2\cdot2\\\\8x-64=2x-4\ \ \ \ |add\ 64\ to\ both\ sides\\\\8x=2x+60\ \ \ \ |subtract\ 2x\ from\ both\ sides\\\\6x=60\ \ \ \ |divide\ both\ sids\ by\ 6\\\\\boxed{x=10}$
