Question

Apply the first step in solving this equation: -4(-6x + 1) - 8 = 12 What should the next line of solving this equation be? 0 - 10x-3-2 - 12 -24x + 4 - 8 = 12 1 10x + 4 - 8 = 12 24x -4-8 = 12 Ne

Answer 1

Answer: The first step in solving this equation is to apply the distributive property to the term -4(-6x + 1). This means multiplying -4 by both -6x and 1, and then adding the results. The next line of solving this equation should be:

-24x + 4 - 8 = 12

This is because:

-4(-6x + 1) - 8 = 12

-4 * (-6x) + (-4) * (1) - 8 = 12

24x - 4 - 8 = 12

Answer 2

24x -4-8 = 12

Explanation:

this can be found by distributing -4 in the first equation

-4×-6x=24x and -4×1=-4
