2x-8=2x-8+x
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x-4.
2x-8=3x-8
Combine 2x and x to get 3x.
2x-8-3x=-8
Subtract 3x from both sides.
-x-8=-8
Combine 2x and -3x to get -x.
-x=-8+8
Add 8 to both sides.
-x=0
Add -8 and 8 to get 0.
x=0
Product of two numbers is equal to 0 if at least one of them is 0. Since -1 is not equal to 0, x must be equal to 0.
