Question

Solve the following equation:

4(x−3)=48−8x

A. x = 5
B. x = 12
C. x = 60
D. x = -5

Answer 1

Answer: x =5 4x-12=48-8x add 12 to both sides 4x-12+12=48-8x+12 Simplify 4x=-8x+60 add 8× to both sides 4x+8x=-8x+60+8x Simplify 12x=60 Divide both sides by 12 f{12x}{12}={60}{12} x=5

Answer 2

The answer is A

Explanation:

4(x-3=)=48-8x

4(5-3)=48-8*5

20-12=8 48-40=8

8=8
