Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
−4(x+2)=8x+16
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
−4(x+2)=8x+16
(−4)(x)+(−4)(2)=8x+16(Distribute)
−4x+−8=8x+16
−4x−8=8x+16
Step 2: Subtract 8x from both sides.
−4x−8−8x=8x+16−8x
−12x−8=16
Step 3: Add 8 to both sides.
−12x−8+8=16+8
−12x=24
Step 4: Divide both sides by -12.
−12x
−12
=
