Pulling out like terms :
3.1 Pull out like factors :
24 - 8x = -8 • (x - 3)
Equation at the end of step 3 : -8 • (x - 3) = 0
Step 4 :Equations which are never true :
4.1 Solve : -8 = 0
This equation has no solution.
A a non-zero constant never equals zero.
Solving a Single Variable Equation :
4.2 Solve : x-3 = 0
Add 3 to both sides of the equation :
x = 3
One solution was found :
x = 2
