OpenStudy (texaschic101):

-4(3x - 2) = -32 -12x + 8 = -32 (subtract 8 from both sides) -12x = -32 - 8 -12x = -40 (divide both sides by -12) x = -40/-12 x = 10/3 check...-4(3(10/3) - 2) = -32 -4(30/3 - 2) = -32 -4(30/3 - 6/3) = -32 -4(24/3) = -32 -4(8) = -32 -32 = -32 (correct) x = 10/3 any questions ?
