Question

What are the properties used to solve 4(x+3)=20

Answer 1

Answer:

Multiproperty

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we use different properties to arrive at our answer.

  Given expression;

               4(x + 3) = 20;

   First we use the distributive property to expand;

              4x + 12  = 20

       Now use subtraction property by adding (-12) to both sides;

              4x + 12 + (-12)  = 20 + (-12)

              4x  = 8

           you can now divide by 4,

                   x  = 2
