Question

in -4(2-x)=12. what is the value of x​

Answer 1

Answer:

-4(2-x)= -8+4x as 4 is multiplied to whole (2-x)

Therefore, -8+4x=12

-8 goes to the right hand side(RHS) of the = , so it becomes +8 : 4x = 12+8=20

4 is multiplied to x on LHS , so it now divides the RHS : x= 20/4= 5

The final answer: x = 5
