Question

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

Answer 1

4(2x − 3) ...

8x − 12 = 20

Answer 2

the second one because you have to finish distributing the four

Answer 3

because when you have parentheses you must multiply all terms inside by the outside term...
