what is the answer to do problem? 2 (4j-16) = 8 (j-4)

Let's solve the equation step-by-step. 2 (4j - 16) = 8 (j-4)

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation. 2 (4j - 16) = 8 (j-4)

Simplify: (Hide steps) (2) (4j) + (2) (-16) = (8) (j) + (8) (-4) (Distribute) 8j + - 32 = 8j + - 32 8j - 32 = 8j - 32 Step 2: Subtract 8j from both sides. 8j - 32 - 8j = 8j - 32 - 8j - 32 = - 32

Step 3: Add 32 to both sides. - 32 + 32 = - 32 + 32 0=0

Answer: All real numbers are solutions.
