Question

What is the answer to -4(x+8)

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Distribute

-4(x + 8)

Distribute:  -4(x) -4(8)

Simplify:  -4x - 32

Step 2:  Solve for x

Add 32 to both side:  -4x - 32 + 32 = 0 + 32

Divide -4 on both sides:  -4x/-4 = 32/-4

Simplify:  x = -8

Answer 2

Answer: - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

-4x - 32=0

-4x=0+32

-4x=32 (divide both sides by - 4)

x= - 32/4

x= - 8
