What is x and how do I figure it out

4x = 8 + 2x

x = 4

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x=8+2x

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

4x=2x+8

Step 2: Subtract 2x from both sides.

4x-2x=2x+8-2x

2x=8

Step 3: Divide both sides by 2.

2x/2=8/2

x=4

4x = 8 + 2x

4x - 2x = 8 + 2x - 2x Subtract 2x from both sides

2x = 8 divide by 2

x = 4
