By using the Distributive Property, you would multiply 3 into the parenthesis (3 · x and 3 · -4)
3(x - 4) = 24
3x - 12 = 24
Then, you would solve like any normal one-step equation.
3x - 12 = 24
+12 +12
__________
3x 36
__ = __
3 3
x = 12, which is your final solution.

Answer: D) -2 |x| - 2
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
A v-shaped graph is an absolute value graph.
The general form of an absolute value equation is: y = a |x - h| + k
where (h, k) represents the vertex and "a" represents the vertical stretch (aka slope).
The vertex of the given graph is (0, 2), however the graph is inverted (upside-down) which is a reflection across the x-axis. Therefore,
<h2> --> y = -2 |x| - 2</h2>
1000 x 5 = 5000
Lana's dad would take about 5000 steps.
5000 x 2 = 10,000
Lana would take about 10,000 steps.
Glad I could help, and good luck!
