8x-16=4x+4

when solving equations try to get the variable on just one side and the non-variables on the other. In this problem lets first subtract 4x from both sides.

8x-16=4x+4

-4x -4x

4x-16=4

Now add 16 to both sides this will leave all the xs in one side and all of the non x on the other.

4x-16=4

+16 +16

4x=20

Now to leave the x by itself divide both sides by 4.

4x=20

/4 /4

x=5

That's your final answer.
