:
Pulling out like terms
Pull out like factors :
32 - 2x = -2 • (x - 16)
STEP
2
:
Equations which are never true:
2.1 Solve : -2 = 0
This equation has no solution.
A a non-zero constant never equals zero.
Solving a Single Variable Equation:
2.2 Solve : x-16 = 0
Add 16 to both sides of the equation :
x = 16
