4(x-8)+12 equal 2(2x-9)

(Answer explained)

4(x-8)+12=2(2x-9)

We move all terms to the left:

4(x-8)+12-(2(2x-9))=0

We multiply parentheses

4x-(2(2x-9))-32+12=0

We calculate terms in parentheses: -(2(2x-9)), so:

2(2x-9)

We multiply parentheses

4x-18

Back to the equation:

-(4x-18)

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

4x-(4x-18)-20=0

We get rid of parentheses

4x-4x+18-20=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-2!=0

There is no solution for this equation
