Question

plz solve -8 ( x - 3 ) - 4x = 48

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

-8 ( x - 3 ) - 4x = 48

Distribute

-8x +24 -4x = 48

Combine like terms

-12x +24 = 48

Subtract 24 from each side

-12x+24-24 = 48-24

-12x = 24

Divide each side by -12

-12x/-12 = 24/-12

x = -2

Answer 2

Answer:

X= -2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you need to distribute -8 into (x-3) --->  -8(x-3)-4x=48

                                                                         -8x + 24 -4x= 48  

Get numbers with variables on its own side-->     -24         -24

                                                                            -8x - 4x  = 24

Combine -8x and -4x  ----->           -8x-4x = -12x   -12x    = 24

                       Divide ---------------------------------->    -12         -12

                                                                             24÷ -12 = -2
