Solve this equation to find the value of x that makes the statement true.

8x − 8 = 4x + 12

8x − 8 = 4x + 12

Add 8 to both sides:

8x = 4x + 20

Subtract 4x from both sides:

4x = 20

Divide both sides by 4:

x = 20/4

x = 5

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

           8x - 8 = 4x + 12

           8x - 4x = +12 + 8

                   4x = 20

                      x = 20/4

                          = 5  

       Therefore, x = 5

step-by-step explanation:

example 2 – simplify: step 1: completely factor both the numerators and denominators of all fractions. step 2: change the division sign to a multiplication sign and flip (or reciprocate) the fraction after the division sign; essential you need to multiply by the reciprocal. step 3 : cancel or reduce the fractions.
