Question

Use the Distributive Property to solve the equation. -2(x + 4) = 8 Apply the Distributive Property and simplify. - 2x+ what = 8​

Answer 1

Hey there!

First, use the Distributive Property and distribute -2:

-2(x+4)=8

-2x-8=8

Add 8 to both sides:

-2x=8+8

-2x=16

Divide both sides by -2:

x=-8

Hope everything is clear.
