Question

Solve: -4 (x + 2) =24
show work

Answer 1

Hello.

First, let's use the Distributive Property and distribute -4:

`\mathrm{-4(x+2)=24}`

`\mathrm{-4x-8=24}`

Now, add 8 to both sides:

`\mathrm{-4x-8+8=24+8}`

`\mathrm{-4x=24+8}`

`\mathrm{-4x=32}`

Now, divide both sides by -4:

`\Large\boxed{\sf{x=-8}}`

I hope it helps.

Have a nice day.
