Question

The solution of the equation - -4(2 + x) = 4 is

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

(-4×2)+(-4×x) = 4

•-8 + -4x = 4

•-4x = 4+8

•-4x = 12.

•x = 12/-4

•x = -3

Answer 2

Answer:

=> The value of x is -3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:-

$-4(2 + x) = 4$

To find:- The value of x,

For solving this equation, we have to use the transposition method:

As we have,

=> $-4(2 + x) = 4$

Rearrange the terms, we get

=> $-4(x+2) = 4$

Distribute the terms, we get

=> $-4x-8 = 4$

Add both sides by $8$,

=> $-4x-8 +8= 4+8$

Simplifying it further,

=> $-4x=12$

Divide both sides by $-4$,

=> $x = - 3$

Hence, the required solution is -3.
