Question

8x=-4(x+3) I would really appreciate some help

Answer 1

Answer: x=−1

Explanation:

Step 1. You need to simplify both sides of the equation.

8x=−4(x+3)

8x=(−4)(x)+(−4)(3)   (Remember to distribute)

8x=−4x+−12

8x=−4x−12

Step 2. Then add 4x to both sides.

8x+4x=−4x−12+4x

12x=−12

Step 3. Lastly, divide both sides of the equation by 12.

12x/12 = -12/12

x=−1

Final Answer: x=−1

Hope I could help! :)

Answer 2

Answer:

x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

8x = - 4(x + 3)

8x = -4x - 12

+4x  +4x

12x = -12

12       12

x = -1

• Remember, a negative times a positive equals a negative
• Remember, a negative divided by a positive equals a negative

Hope this helps you!!! :)
