Question

MEDAL!!

The incomplete work of a student to solve an equation is shown below:

Step 1: 4x + 12 = 4
Step 2: ?
Step 3: x = –8 ÷4
Step 4: x = –2

What is the missing Step 2?

Answer 1

4x = 8
4x = 16
4x = –16
4x = –8

Answer 2

so in step 2, you would try to get 4x by itself by subtracting "12" from both sides. What do you get when you do 4 - 12?

Answer 3

8?

Answer 4

so it's D? ;u;

Answer 5

yeah, -8

Answer 6
