Solve 3(x-2)+4x=2x-4-8

$$3 ( x - 2 ) + 4 x = 2 x - 4 - 8$$

Solve for x

$$x = -\frac{6}{5} = -1\frac{1}{5} = -1.2$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by x-2.

$$3x-6+4x=2x-4-8$$

Combine 3x and 4x to get 7x.

$$7x-6=2x-4-8$$

Subtract 8 from -4 to get -12.

$$7x-6=2x-12$$

Subtract 2x from both sides.

$$7x-6-2x=-12$$

Combine 7x and -2x to get 5x.

$$5x-6=-12$$

Add 6 to both sides.

$$5x=-12+6$$

Add -12 and 6 to get -6.

$$5x=-6$$

Divide both sides by 5.

$$x=\frac{-6}{5}$$

Fraction \frac{-6}{5} can be rewritten as -\frac{6}{5} by extracting the negative sign.

$$x=-\frac{6}{5}$$
