Answer 1

To solve for x, we need to isolate the variable on one side of the equation. Here's how:

-4(2x - 11) = 12

Distribute -4 to the terms inside the parentheses:

-8x + 44 = 12

Now, subtract 44 from both sides of the equation:

-8x = 12 - 44

Simplify:

-8x = -32

Now, divide both sides of the equation by -8 to solve for x:

x = -32 / -8

Simplify:

x = 4

Therefore, the correct solution is x = 4.
