Hi My name is Ms. Molina and I am a math expert what do you want to know?
Hi My name is Avery and I need help solving the equation 2(4x - 3) - 8 = 4 + 2x could you help me?
Good question Avery, Next we will have to do inverse operations to get one number on each side of the equation.
So far The equation is 8x-14=4+2x what will hapen after that?
Okay, so the next step is that we have to combine the like terms which is -6 -8 which would give you -14. The new equation is 8x-14=4+2x
Before we get on the train to my house could you tell me the next step?
Yes, the first step is that we would have to distribute the 2 so the new equation would be 8x - 6- 8= 4+ 2x
What Is the first Step Ms. Molina?
First, we will do 8x-2x which will give you 6x. Then you will do 14=4 to get it to the other side which will get you 18x so the equation now is 6x=18
Okay How do I do that with the equation we have?
Yes, so the final step is you have to divide the 6x by 18 which would give you 3. The final answer is x=3 so if you were to put 3 back into the 2 starting equations the answers would equal each other. It was nice meeting you Avery.
Ms.Molina before I go into my house can you tell me the final step with solving this equation?
