Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We have given the expression:
3x - 4 = 2(x + 8)
Now multiply the R.H.S
3x-4 = 2x+16 (Distributive property)
Add 4 to both sides:
3x-4+4=2x+16+4
3x = 2x+20 (Addition property of equality)
Subtract 2x from both sides:
3x-2x = 2x-2x+20
x=20 (Subtraction property of equality)....
