Answer:
The solution is [tex]x=-6.[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
The equation is -8(x + 2) =32.
Now, to solve the equation using distributive property:
So, the equation is:
[tex]-8(x+2)=32[/tex]
Now, to solve it:
[tex]-8(x+2)=32[/tex]
[tex]-8x-16=32[/tex]
Adding both sides by 16 we get:
[tex]-8x=48[/tex]
Dividing both sides by -8 we get:
[tex]x=-6.[/tex]
Therefore, the solution is [tex]x=-6.[/tex]
Answer:
The Solution is (-6).
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
[tex]-8(x+2)=32[/tex]
We need to solve the equation.
Solution:
[tex]-8(x+2)=32[/tex]
Now applying distributive property we get;
[tex]a(m+n)=am+an[/tex]
Applying the given rule we get;
[tex]-8\times x+(-8)\times 2 =32\\\\-8x+(-16)=32[/tex]
Now we know that;
When (+) is met with the (-) the result is (-).
So we get;
[tex]-8x-16=32[/tex]
Now adding both side by 16 using addition property of equality we get;
[tex]-8x-16+16=32+16\\\\-8x=48[/tex]
Now we will divide both side by -8 using division property of equality we get;
[tex]\frac{-8x}{-8}=\frac{48}{-8}\\\\x=-6[/tex]
Hence The Solution is (-6).
