Complete the Next Step: A partial solution to the equation 4(2x − 3) = 20 is given below. Choose the step that is missing from the solution.
4(2x − 3) = 20
8x = 32
x = 4

6x − 3 = 24

8x − 12 = 20

2x − 12 = 24

6x + 12 = 5

4(2x-3)=20 distribute your four to everything inside the parenthesis. (2x and 3) So 4 times 2x gives you 8x and four times 3 is 12. So the correct answer is B.
