What is the solution to the equation? 8x + 4 = –20 A. x = –3 B. x = –2 C. x = 2 D. x = 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b

OpenStudy (conqueror):

Subtract 8 to both sides of the equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Substitute each of your answers with x and solve. Which ever one equals -20, that's your answer :)

OpenStudy (conqueror):

Or...I'm wrong, not very good in math.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yup, you're correct. The answer is B. \[8* -3 + 4 = –20\]

OpenStudy (conqueror):

No wait, it's not B...

OpenStudy (conqueror):

@SyedMohammed's process is right.

syed98 (syedmohammed98):

i showed the solution :)

OpenStudy (conqueror):

Because you need to subtract 4 to both sides.

OpenStudy (conqueror):

8x = -24

syed98 (syedmohammed98):

-24 / 8 = ?
