Lisa Costa · Answer 1

x = - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Distribute

-4 (x + 8)

Distribute: - 4 (x) - 4 (8)

Simplify: - 4x - 32

Step 2: Solve for x

Add 32 to both side: - 4x - 32 + 32 = 0 + 32

Divide - 4 on both sides: - 4x/-4 = 32/-4

Simplify: x = - 8

Harold Gomez · Answer 2

Answer: - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

-4x - 32=0

-4x=0+32

-4x=32 (divide both sides by - 4)

x = - 32/4

x = - 8
