Answer: x = + 1
Step-by-step explanation: To solve for x in this equation, our first step is to simplify the left side by distributing the 4 through both terms inside the parentheses.
When we do that, we get 4 times x which is 4x and 4 times - 3 which is - 12. So we have 4x - 12 = - 8. Our next step is to isolate the x-term by adding 12 to both sides of the equation. On the left, - 12 + 12 cancels and we are left with 4x. On the right, - 8 + 12 simplifies to 4.
Now we have the equation 4x = 4.
To get x by itself, we divide both sides by 4 and x = + 1.
