What is the value of x
4(x - 3) = -8

Solving for x...

4(x-3)=-8

Divide by 4.

x-3=-2

Add 3.

x=1

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.
