Answer 1

B. -x + 8

Explanation:

Given expression

`(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

`(4(8-x))/(4)=8-x\ \text{or}\ -x+8`
