Answer 1

The answer is B.
Would you like to know how to find the solution to the equation?

Answer 2

Yes please

Answer 3

Okay.

When solving an equation, you want to isolate the "x" variable on one side, and the constant on the other side. Does this make sense?

Answer 4

Yes it makes sense

Answer 5

Okay. There are a couple of ways to solve this equation, but I'm gonna show you the easiest way there is.

So what were going to do is:

8x = 4x - 32

Subtract 4x from "both" sides of the equation.
This gives us:

4x = -32.

Now, we need to divide the 4 in 4x by the -32. (or vice versa, however you like to say it.)

4 / -32 OR (-32 / 4) = -8.


Does this make sense? :)
