00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.841
Here is the problem: 4(x minus 2) equals 4x minus 8.

2
00:00:05.291 --> 00:00:06.475
Solve for x.

3
00:00:07.275 --> 00:00:08.808
Start with the equation.

4
00:00:09.257 --> 00:00:12.078
Move every term to one side and simplify.

5
00:00:12.878 --> 00:00:15.072
So the answer is All real numbers.

6
00:00:15.522 --> 00:00:21.292
The variable cancels and leaves a true statement, so every value of x works (an identity).
