Question

The solution too: 4(3x−5)=−80?

Answer 1

`\textsf{Hey there!}`

`\text{FIRST step: you have to DISTRIBUTE}`

`\textsf{4(3x) - 4(-5) = ?}`

`\mathsf{4(3x)= 12x}`

`\mathsf{4(-5) = -20}`

`\mathsf{\underline{= 12x - 20}}`

`\textsf{NEW EQAUTION}`

`\mathsf{12x - 20 = -80}`

`\textsf{SECOND step: ADD by 20 on BOTH of your sides}`

`\mathsf{12x - 20 + 20 = -80 + 20}`

`\mathsf{Cancel\ out: -20 + 20\ because\ it\ gives\ you\ 0 }`

`\textsf{Keep: -80 + 20 because it helps us solve for our answer}`

`\mathsf{-80 + 20 = \underline{-60}}`

`\textsf{NEW EQUATION}`

`\mathsf{12x = -60}`

`\textsf{THIRD step: DIVIDE by 12 on BOTH of your sides}`

`\mathsf{(12x)/(12) = (-60)/(12)}`

`\mathsf{Cancel \ out: (12x)/(12)\ because\ it\ equals\ 1}`

`\mathsf{Keep: (-60)/(12)\ because\ it\ solves\ for\ x}`

`\mathsf{\underline{(-60)/(12) = -60 / 12\rightarrow \bf{-5}}}`

`\textsf{ANSWER}`

`\boxed{\textsf{Thus, your is: \boxed{\mathsf{\bf{x = -5}}}}}\checkmark`
