What is the solution to the equation? ((*** I WILL GIVE METALS 100 % ***)) 8x + 4 = –20 A. x = –3 B. x = –2 C. x = 2 D. x = 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is really easy... 8x+4=-20 8x=-24 x=-3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's B. x= -2. I believe.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is not -2 it is -3

Actually, I'm incorrect. It is -3. Oops. If you multiply a positive with a negative, you wound up with a negative. So 8•-3 is -24. And + 4. If you add a positive four to a negative, that's like subtracting. So subtract 4 from -24. It's -20. Sorry! I made a mistake! c:
