Step-by-step explanation:
The texts in the question is distorted and unclear; So, I will provide a general explanation of solving an equation with 1 variable.
A similar question that can be found online is:
[tex]8x - 8 = 4x + 12[/tex] --- to solve for x
First, collect all like terms
[tex]8x - 4x = 8 + 12[/tex]
Distribute the expression on the left-hand side
[tex]x(8 - 4) = 8 + 12[/tex]
[tex]x * 4 = 8 + 12[/tex]
Simplify like terms
[tex]x * 4 = 20[/tex]
Divide both sides by 4
[tex]x = 5[/tex]
