Answer 1

To solve the equation \( 4(3x - 2) = -24 \), let's go through the steps and then determine the value of \( x \).

### Step-by-step solution:
1. **Step 1:** Distribute the 4 on the left side of the equation:
\[ 4(3x) - 4(2) = -24 \]
Which simplifies to:
\[ 12x - 8 = -24 \]

2. **Step 2:** Add 8 to both sides to isolate the term with \( x \):
\[ 12x - 8 + 8 = -24 + 8 \]
Which simplifies to:
\[ 12x = -16 \]

3. **Step 3:** Divide both sides by 12 to solve for \( x \):
\[ x = \frac{-16}{12} \]
Which simplifies to:
\[ x = \frac{-4}{3} \]
Or in decimal form:
\[ x = -\frac{4}{3} \]

### Final answer for the value of \( x \):
- \( x = -\frac{4}{3} \) (or "x is equal to negative 4 thirds").

### Summary of the answers to fill in your form:
- **Step 1:** Distribute the 4: \( 12x - 8 = -24 \).
- **Step 2:** Add 8 to both sides: \( 12x = -16 \).
- **Step 3:** Divide by 12: \( x = -\frac{4}{3} \).

From the available responses for Question 2, the correct answer is:
- \( x = \frac{-4}{3} \) or "x is equal to negative 4 thirds."

Answer 3

To solve the equation \( 4(3x - 2) = -24 \), let's identify the correct order of the steps and discard those that are unnecessary based on the equation.

Here’s the clear order of operations:

1. **Multiply both sides of the equation by \(\frac{1}{4}\) or divide both sides by 4.**
This gives us:
\[ 3x - 2 = -6 \]

2. **Add 2 to both sides of the equation.**
This gives us:
\[ 3x = -4 \]

3. **Divide both sides of the equation by 3.**
This gives us:
\[ x = -\frac{4}{3} \]

So, the correct ordering of the steps is:

1. Divide both sides of the equation by 4.
2. Add 2 to both sides of the equation.
3. Divide both sides of the equation by 3.

Answer 5

To solve the equation \( -2(4+n) = 24 \), let's determine the correct sequence of steps and then find the value of \( n \).

### Step-by-step solution:

1. **Step 1:** Divide both sides of the equation by \(-2\).
\[
\frac{-2(4+n)}{-2} = \frac{24}{-2}
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
4+n = -12
\]

2. **Step 2:** Subtract 4 from both sides of the equation.
\[
n = -12 - 4
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
n = -16
\]

3. **Step 3:** The equation has been solved. There are no more steps.

Answer 7

To solve the equation \( \frac{5}{8}(x + 12) = 100 \), let's determine the correct sequence of steps and subsequently find the value of \( x \).

### Step-by-step solution:

1. **Step 1:** Multiply both sides of the equation by \( \frac{8}{5} \):
\[
\left(\frac{8}{5}\right) \cdot \frac{5}{8}(x + 12) = 100 \cdot \frac{8}{5}
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
x + 12 = 160
\]

2. **Step 2:** Subtract \( 12 \) from both sides of the equation:
\[
x = 160 - 12
\]
This further simplifies to:
\[
x = 148
\]

### Correct order of steps:
- **Step 1:** Multiply both sides of the equation by \( \frac{8}{5} \).
- **Step 2:** Subtract \( 12 \) from both sides of the equation.

### Final answer for Question 2:
- The value of \( x \) is \( 148 \).

### Provided Options:
It seems the provided options only account for specific values, and none of my calculations yielded those results. If you mean the equation started as \( \frac{5}{8}(x + 12) = 100 \) just as you stated but have a different value, let's calculate that again:

- The correct steps involve multiplying both sides by \((8/5)\), then subtracting 12.
- The final step reveals \(x = 148\).

Make sure the equation you're referring to was entered correctly, as with these steps, the output does not align with the provided options.

Answer 8

Solve for x.

5/8 (x + 1/2 ) = 100

Answer 9

To solve the equation

\[
\frac{5}{8} \left( x + \frac{1}{2} \right) = 100,
\]

we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Multiply both sides by the reciprocal of \(\frac{5}{8}\)

Multiply both sides by \(\frac{8}{5}\):

\[
\frac{8}{5} \cdot \frac{5}{8} \left( x + \frac{1}{2} \right) = 100 \cdot \frac{8}{5}.
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
x + \frac{1}{2} = 160.
\]

### Step 2: Subtract \(\frac{1}{2}\) from both sides

To isolate \(x\), subtract \(\frac{1}{2}\):

\[
x = 160 - \frac{1}{2}.
\]

This can also be expressed in fractions or decimals:

\[
x = 160 - 0.5 = 159.5.
\]

### Final Answer

So, the solution for \(x\) is

\[
x = 159.5 \quad \text{or} \quad x = 159 \frac{1}{2}.
\]

Answer 11

To solve the equation

\[
-30(s - 10) = -180,
\]

let's go through the steps and then identify the correct order and final value of \( s \).

### Step-by-step solution:

1. **Step 1:** Divide both sides of the equation by -30.
\[
s - 10 = \frac{-180}{-30}
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
s - 10 = 6
\]

2. **Step 2:** Add 10 to both sides of the equation.
\[
s = 6 + 10
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
s = 16
\]

### Correct Order of Steps

- **Step 1:** Divide both sides of the equation by -30.
- **Step 2:** Add 10 to both sides of the equation.

### Final Answer for Question 2

Thus, the value of \( s \) is:
- \( s = 16 \).
