Question

-4(-3x+1)=16

Answer 1

x=5/3

Answer 2

can you show me how you got that?

Answer 3

distribute -4
12x-4=16 then add 4 to both sides
12x=20 then divide 12 to both sides
x=20/12
x=5/3

Answer 4

oops sorry, divide by -4 to get -3x+1=-4, subtract -1 to get -3x=-5, divide by -3 to get x=5/3
