Answer:
x = 3.33... or 10/3
Step-by-step explanation:
3(2x - 4) = 8
distribute the 3 into the parentheses
3 • 2x = 6x
3 • -4 = -12
6x - 12 = 8
add 12 to both sides
6x = 20
divide both sides by 6
Answer: x = 10/3
3(2x-4) = 8 apply the distributive property on the left side
6x - 12= 8 Add 12 to both sides
+12 +12
6x = 20 Divide both sides by 6
x= 20/6 which simplifies to 10/3
