Question

2(2 + 4x) = - 4 Show All work and solve for x

Answer 1

2(2+4x)=-4
So you expand the brackets by multiplying everything inside by outside:

4 + 8x = -4

Then you move the 4 over next to -4

8x = -4 -4

So it become 8x = -8 and then you divide 8 by -8

Which therefore gives you the answer of

X = -1
