4x - 8 = 5x 1) Add 8 to both sides. 4x - 8 (+ 8) = 5x (+ 8) Becomes 4x = 5x + 8 2) Subtrate 5x from both sides. 4x (- 5x) = 8 Becomes -1x = 8 Reduced to -x = 8 3) Multiply both sides by -1. Becomes x = -8
20x2 - 27x -8 20 * -8 is -160, and -32 and 5 add to -27 20x2 - 32x + 5x - 8 4x(5x-8) + 1(5x-8) (4x + 1)(5x-8)
-4x + 8 = -4 -4x + 8 - 8 = -4 -8 -4x = -12 -4x/-4 = -12/-4 x = 3
5x-8 + 7x 12x-8 12x = 8 x = 8/12 x= 2/3
7x-3=3x+8 7x-3x=8+3 4x=11 x=11/4=2.75
