Solve.−24 − 4(x + 2) = 4x
-24 - 4(x + 2) = 4x Use the Distributive Property -24 - 4x - 8 = 4x Combine like terms (-24 and -8) -32 - 4x = 4x Add 4x to both sides -32 = 8x Divide both sides by 8 -4 = x Switch the sides to make it easier to read x = -4
-24 -4x -8= 4x-24 - 8= 4x+4x-32=8x-32/8 =8x/8-4 = x
