• x= -4

1 answer

To solve the equation \(- 4(2x - 11) = 12\), we can follow these steps:

  1. Distribute the -4 on the left side: \[ -8x + 44 = 12 \]

  2. Subtract 44 from both sides: \[ -8x = 12 - 44 \] \[ -8x = -32 \]

  3. Divide both sides by -8: \[ x = \frac{-32}{-8} = 4 \]

So, the solution is: \[ x = 4 \]

Therefore, the correct answer is x = 4.
