Question

Solve and show your work 4(2-x)=24

Answer 1

x=4

Explanation:

4(2-x)=24

4*2= 8 4*x = 4x

8-4x = 24

24-8 = 16

4x = 16

16/4 = 4

x=4

Answer 2

x = -4

Explanation:

4(2-x)=24

8 - 4x = 24

-4x = 16

x = -4

Let's check

4(2 -( -4)) = 24

4 (6) = 24

24 = 24

So, x = -4 is the correct answer!
