Can someone explain this please ? So I think the first part is -8x-4=8x-2 ?

Answer:
-4×(2×1)=8x-2-4
solve in ( )
-4×3=8x-2-4
multiply -4 to 3
-12=8x-2-4
add 2 and 4 to both sides
-6=8x
divide -6 to 8 and you will get the answer
x=-0.75
Answer:
x = -0.25 (or) -1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve the problem,
→ -4 × (2 × 1) = 8x - 2 - 4
→ -4 × 2 = 8x - 6
→ -8 = 8x - 6
→ 8x = -8 + 6
→ x = -2/8
→ [ x = -0.25 ]
Thus, solution is -0.25.
