Answer:
x = [tex]\frac{10}{3}[/tex] or [tex]3\frac{1}{10}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
2x - 8 = 12 - 4x
1) Add 8 on boths sides:
2x - 8 + 8 = 12 - 4x + 8
2x = 20 - 4x
2) Add 4x to both sides:
2x + 4x = 20 - 4x + 4x
6x = 20
3) Divide 6 on both sides
[tex]\frac{6x}{6} = \frac{20}{6}[/tex]
x = [tex]\frac{10}{3}[/tex] or [tex]3\frac{1}{10}[/tex]
