Question

Solve the equation 4(c-3)=8 What are two ways to start solving this equation? Choose BOTH ways Subtract 4 from both sides to get c-3=4 Use the distributive property to get 4c-12=8 Divide both sides by 4 to get c-3=2 Use the distributive property to get 4c-3=8 Add 3 to both sides to get 4c=11

Answer 1

b) Use the distributive property to get 4c-12=8

c) Divide both sides by 4 to get c-3=2

Explanation:

Solve the equation 4(c-3)=8

What are two ways to start solving this equation?

We are given the Equation

4(c - 3) = 8

The two ways to start solving this Equation is given as:

1. 4(c - 3) = 8

We expand the brackets, using Distributive property

4c - 12 = 8

Or

2. 4(c - 3) = 8

Divide both sides by 4

4(c - 3)/4 = 8/4

c - 3 = 2

Therefore, options b and c is correct
