Solution for 3(x+4)-(x+2)=2(x+8) equation:


Simplifying
3(x + 4) + -1(x + 2) = 2(x + 8)

Reorder the terms:
3(4 + x) + -1(x + 2) = 2(x + 8)
(4 * 3 + x * 3) + -1(x + 2) = 2(x + 8)
(12 + 3x) + -1(x + 2) = 2(x + 8)

Reorder the terms:
12 + 3x + -1(2 + x) = 2(x + 8)
12 + 3x + (2 * -1 + x * -1) = 2(x + 8)
12 + 3x + (-2 + -1x) = 2(x + 8)

Reorder the terms:
12 + -2 + 3x + -1x = 2(x + 8)

Combine like terms: 12 + -2 = 10
10 + 3x + -1x = 2(x + 8)

10 + 2x = 2(x + 8)

Reorder the terms:
10 + 2x = 2(8 + x)
10 + 2x = (8 * 2 + x * 2)
10 + 2x = (16 + 2x)

Add '-2x' to each side of the equation.
10 + 2x + -2x = 16 + 2x + -2x

Combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0
10 + 0 = 16 + 2x + -2x
10 = 16 + 2x + -2x

Combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0
10 = 16 + 0
