Gwendolyn is asked to solve the equation –4(x – 3) = 20. She shows the work below and states that the solution is x = –8. –4(x –

____ [38]

Answer:

$x=-2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Equation is $-4(x-3)=20$

To find: flaw in Gwendolyn's work and the correct solution to the equation.

Solution:

In the given question,

the first step is $-4(x-3)=20$

The second step is $-4x+12=20$

(This step is obtained on multiplying $-4$ by $x-3$ )

The third step is $-4x=32$

This step is wrong as on transposing 12 from left side of the equation in the second step to the right side, the following equation is obtained:

$-4x=20-12\\-4x=8\\x=-2$

So, the correct solution is $x=-2$
