Question

How do you solve `-12( 2x - 8) = 8( 12- 3x )`?

Answer 1

See explanation.

Explanation:

First step is to do the multiplication on both sides:

`-24x+96=96-24x`

Now we move the variable to one side and the numbers to right side:

`-24x+24x=96-96`

`0=0`

The resulting equality `0=0` means that all real numbers are the solutions to the initial equation.
