What is the solution to this equation?

-8x + 4 = 36

A. x = - 5

B. x = 4

C. x = 5

D. x = - 4.

D. x = - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

-8x * - 4 = 32 + 4 = 36

you can subtract 4 from 36, which leaves you with - 8x = 32. you then divide 32 by - 8 to (1) cancel out - 8 which will leave you with x, and (2) give you your answer. 32 / - 8 = - 4.

x is - 4
