Answer:
x = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
-2(2 − 2x) = 4 − 8(1 − x)
Apply the distributive property:
−2(2 − 2x) = 4 − 8(1 − x)
(−2)(2) + (−2)(−2x) = 4 + (−8)(1) + (−8)(−x)
−4 + 4x = 4 + (−8) + 8x
Combine like terms:
4x − 4 = (8x) + (4+−8)
4x − 4 = 8x + (−4)
4x − 4 = 8x − 4
Subtract 8x from both sides:
4x − 4 − 8x = 8x − 4 − 8x
−4x − 4 = −4
Add 4 to both sides:
−4x − 4 + 4= −4 + 4
−4x = 0
Divide both sides by -4:
-4x/-4 = 0/-4
x = 0
