Okay that’s okay I’m not taking it out on the time Question 5

ANSWER
D) x = 8
EXPLANATION
To find the value of x that makes the equation true, we have to solve the equation for x,
[tex]2(x-4)=x[/tex]To do so, apply the distributive property to eliminate the parenthesis,
[tex]2x-8=x[/tex]Then, subtract x from both sides,
[tex]\begin{gathered} 2x-x-8=x-x \\ \\ x-8=0 \end{gathered}[/tex]And add 8 to both sides,
[tex]\begin{gathered} x-8+8=0+8 \\ x=8 \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence, the value of x that makes the equation true is 8.
