Question

After distributing, which equation is equivalent to -4(3x + 2) = 10a.-12x -8 = 10b.-12x + 8 = 10c.-12x -6 = 10d.-12x + 6 = 1

Answer 1

Option A: -12x-8=10 is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Given equation is:

-4 (3x+2) = 10

We will distribute the equation by multiplying the terms inside the brackets with -4.

Therefore,

-4*3x + 2*-4 = 10

-12x +(-8) = 10

-12x - 8 = 10

The equation -4 (3x+2) = 10 will become -12x-8=10 after distributing.

Hence,

Option A: -12x-8=10 is the correct answer.
