Answer 1

Answer:

B. -x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression

$\dfrac{8-4(x-6)}{4}$

Consider the numerator $8-4(x-6).$

First, use distributive property:

$8-4(x-6)=8-(4x-24)$

Open the brackets:

$8-(4x-24)=8-4x+24$

Combine the like terms:

$8-4x+24=(8+24)-4x=32-4x$

Again use distributive property:

$32-4x=4\cdot 8-4x=4(8-x)$

Now, the expression is

$\dfrac{4(8-x)}{4}=8-x\ \text{or}\ -x+8$
