Question

Solve the following equation. Then place the correct number in the box provided.

4(3 - 2x) = 15

Answer 1

Explanation:

4(3-2x)=15

Distribute 4:

12-8x= 15

Subtract 12:

-8x= 3

Divide

X= -3/8 or -0.375

Answer 2

`x = - (3)/(8)`

EXPLANATION

The given equation is:

4(3 - 2x) = 15

Expand the parenthesis to obtain:

12-8x=15

Group similar terms to get;

-8x=15-12

Combine similar terms to get:

-8x=3

Divide both sides by -8

`x = - (3)/(8)`
