The answer is 2, because, 2×2=4 so 2(2)-8= 4-8=4 (if you are dealing with negatives then it would be -4)

We're doing [tex]"parentheses" [/tex] and [tex]subtraction [/tex]  (and somewhat [tex]multiplication [/tex] )

So, let's work this problem out: 

[tex]Problem: (2x - 8) = 4[/tex]

Let's add the number 
[tex]8[/tex] on your sides, like: [tex]2x - 8 + 8 \\ = 4+ 8 [/tex]

Which gives us: 
[tex]2x = 12[/tex]

[tex]2[/tex] goes into the both of those numbers so let's divide both sides by [tex]2[/tex]

[tex] \frac{2x}{2} = 1x \\ \frac{12}{2} = 6 [/tex]

 [tex] \frac{6}{1x} = \frac{6}{x}[/tex]

Finally, our answer: [tex]x = 6 [/tex]
