Solution - Linear equations with one unknown

Rearrange:

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

                     8*x-(-6*(-2*x-4)+8)=0 

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Step  2  :

Pulling out like terms :

 2.1     Pull out like factors :

   -2x - 4  =   -2 • (x + 2) 

Equation at the end of step  2  :

  8x -  ((0 -  -12 • (x + 2)) +  8)  = 0 

Step  3  :

Step  4  :

Pulling out like terms :

 4.1     Pull out like factors :

   -4x - 32  =   -4 • (x + 8) 

Equation at the end of step  4  :

  -4 • (x + 8)  = 0 

Step  5  :

Equations which are never true :

 5.1      Solve :    -4   =  0

This equation has no solution.
A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

 5.2      Solve  :    x+8 = 0 

 Subtract  8  from both sides of the equation : 
                      x = -8
