Question

8=-4(2+x)value of character x

Answer 1

8 = -4(2+x)

8 = -8 -4x

-4x = -8 -8

-4x = -16

x = -16/4

x = -4

Answer 2

${ \sf { \underline { Here's \: the \: answer }}}$


Step by step explanation=>

Given Equation =>

$\sf{8 = -4 ( 2 + x )}$

Opening the brackets ,

$\sf{8 = - 8 - 4x}$

Taking the term ( -8 ) to the L. H. S

$\sf{8 + 8 = - 4x}$

$\sf{16 = - 4x}$

Dividing both sides by 4 ,

$\sf {\frac{16}{4} = \frac{ - 4x}{4}}$

$\sf{4 = - x}$

Multiplying both sides by ( - 1 )

$\sf{4 \times ( - 1) = (- x) \times (- 1)}$

$\sf{ - 4 = x}$

Thus,

${ \underline{ \boxed {\boxed{{ \sf{The \: value \: of \: x \: is \: - 4}}}}}}$
