Pre-Algebra

Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define equation

-2(x - 4) = -16

Step 2: Solve for x

Distribute -2: -2x + 8 = -16
Isolate x term: -2x = -24
Isolate x: x = 12

Step 3: Check

Plug in x to verify it's a solution.

Substitute: -2(12 - 4) = -16
Subtract: -2(8) = -16
Multiply: -16 = -16

Here we see that -16 does indeed equal -16.

∴ x = 12 is a solution of the equation.
