Which property justifies step 3 Given: 4(x - 6) + 12 = 20

x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

4(x−6)+12=20

(4)(x)+(4)(−6)+12=20(Distribute)

4x+−24+12=20

(4x)+(−24+12)=20(Combine Like Terms)

4x+−12=20

4x−12=20

Step 2: Add 12 to both sides.

4x−12+12=20+12

4x=32

Step 3: Divide both sides by 4.

4x

4

=

32

4

Step 3-Divide by same term

Step-by-step explanation:

If you include distributing in your steps, then Step 3 would be adding 12 to both sides.

pi x^2
