Answer:
One solution, x=5.
Step-by-step explanation:
4x-8=12
To find the solution we have to find the value of x.
to find the value of x, we have to add 8 to BOTH sides.
4x-8=12 (Why add 8? because we have to do the opposite of the sign!)
+8 +8
4x=20
Now to find X we have to ISOLATE IT.
So we take out 4, How? We do the opposite to both sides.
4/4 Cancels out
20/4 = 5
So now we know X=5
Insert in the main problem to check.
4(5)-8=12
20-8=12
12=12
