    x=8

    Step-by-step explanation:

    -2 (x-4) = 8

    distribute

    -2x+8=-8

    add 2x to both sides

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

    8=-8+2x

    devide both sides by 2

    4=-4+x

    add 4 to both sides

    8=x

    X=8

    Step-by-step explanation:

    -2 (x-4) = 8

    Divide both sides by - 2-2.

    x-4=-8/-2

    Two negatives make a positive.

    x-4=8/2

    Simplify 8/2 to 4

    x-4=4

    Add 4 to both sides.

    x=4+4

    Simplify 4+4 to 8.

    x=8
