What is -4(x+3)=8 in the distributive property?

x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply each x and 3 by -4, obtaining

-4x - 12 = 8

Now solve for x by combining the constants:

-4x = 20, or

x = -5

x=-5

Step-by-step explanation: distribute the -4 first to both x and 3

-4x-12 = 8 then add 12 to both sides to isolate x

-4x= 20

divide by -4 and you get  x= -5

check it

-4(-5+3)

-4(-5)= 20 (a negative times a negative makes a positive)

then -4(3)= -12

20-12= 8
