15.Solve the equation, then choose the correct answer:
–4(x – 3) = –8

Answer 1

Answer:
-20

Step-by-step explanation:
Distribute first
-4x + 12 = -8
Subtract 12 on both sides
-4x +12 = -8
-12 -12
-4x = -20
Divide by -4 on both sides
-4x = -20
/-4 /-4
x = 5

Answer 2

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

-4 ( x - 3) = -8

-4x +12 = -8

-4x = -20

x = 5
