((*** I WILL GIVE METALS 100 % ***))
8x + 4 = –20

A.
x = –3

B.
x = –2

C.
x = 2

D.
x = 3

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

It's B. x= -2.

I believe.

Answer 3

It is not -2 it is -3

Answer 4

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!
