Solution - Linear equations with one unknown

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "0.5" was replaced by "(5/10)".

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                (5/10)*(4-8*x)-(5-(8*x+2))=0 

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

            1
 Simplify   —
            2

Equation at the end of step  1  :

   1                
  (— • (4 - 8x)) -  (3 - 8x)  = 0 
   2                

Step  2  :

Step  3  :

Pulling out like terms :

 3.1     Pull out like factors :

   4 - 8x  =   -4 • (2x - 1) 

Equation at the end of step  3  :

  -2 • (2x - 1) -  (3 - 8x)  = 0 

Step  4  :

Equation at the end of step  4  :

  4x - 1  = 0 

Step  5  :

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

 5.1      Solve  :    4x-1 = 0 

 Add  1  to both sides of the equation : 
                      4x = 1
Divide both sides of the equation by 4:
                     x = 1/4 = 0.250
