Follow pemdas: start with distributing the -2 unto the (-12x+8) which will equal 24 -16 which is 8. Then add the 8 from the other side which is 16. Add like terms on the other side which is 24x. Then divide by 24. You get 2/3 when simplified. Hope this helps:)
Answer: See explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
4x + 20x - 8 = -2 (-12x + 8)
Step 1
Distribute -2 to (-12x + 8)
4x + 20x - 8 = 24x - 16
Step 2
Combine 4x and 20x together
24x - 8 = 24x - 16
Step 3
Add 8 to both sides
24x = 24x - 8
Step 4
Subtract 24x from both sides
0 ≠ -8
That is incorrect so it's not a solution
Hope I helped!
