Question

In order to solve for the variable in the equation 2(4x+3)+4=3x-(2x+4) Giovanni first applies the distributive property. Which equation is a result of this step?

8x+3+4=3x-2x+4
8x+6+4=3x-2x-4
6x+5+4=3x-x+3
6x+3+4=3x-x+4

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

Answer 2

the distributive property is multiplying the numbers outside of the parentheses into the inside
2×4x=8x
2×3=6
8x+6+4

Then do the same thing on the other side
Which gets you
3x-2x-4

so he has the equation
8x+6+4=3x-2x-4

so the answer is B
