what are the choices

Answer 3

This is the correct equation: 2x + 4 =-8

Answer 4

x=-2
x=-1
x=-6
x=-8

Answer 5

try subtracting 4 from both sides to get 2x=-4 to simplify now try the rest

Answer 6

you wouldn't get 2x = -4

Answer 7

I think it x=-2

Answer 8

oops 2x=-12 sorry

Answer 9

2x = -12 is correct

Answer 10

Am I wrong?

Answer 11

x = -2 is incorrect

Answer 12

what is -12 divided by 2

Answer 13

-6

Answer 14

there you go

Answer 15

So its x= -6?

Answer 16

id say so

Answer 17

Jim do you agree?

Answer 18

I agree. The final answer is x = -6

we can check that claim by plugging it back into the original equation


2x + 4 =-8
2*(-6) + 4 =-8 ... replace every x with -6
-12+4 = -8
-8 = -8


Since -8 = -8 is a true equation, this means the original equation is true when x = -6. So that confirms the answer.
