(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
