Question

-4 ( 2x + 2) = -4(x + 1)/4

Edit: I got to -8 - 8 * 4 = -4x - 4 and I'm not sure about the next step

Answer 1

-4(2x+2)=-(x+1)
the 4 on the right side cancels out.

Answer 2

now simplify: -8x-8=-x-1

Answer 3

-8x+1x=-1+8
and the rest is for you, let me know if you are stuck on this step

Answer 4

I'm sorry I don't know how you got from

-8x-8=-x-1
to
-8x+1x=-1+8

It's been a while since I've done Math, Could you please elaborate?

Answer 5

sure, these are algebraic rules, which you must know or learn
all i did was move the (-x) to the left side which becomes + (note -x=-1x)
and then I moved the (-8) to the right which becomes +

Answer 6
