B. Using the distributive property

E PREVIOUS

Answer 1

x = 4

Explanation:

The given equation is as follows :

4(3x - 6) = 24

If we want to solve the above equation, the steps are:

Using distributive property first as:

4(3x)-4(6)=24

12x-24=24

Adding 24 both sides,

12x-24+24=24+24

12x=48

x=4

So, the value of x = 4. All given steps are correct.
