What is the solution to the equation −4(x − 8) =−32 when solving for x ?(1 point)

Question

Complete the statement: x =
.

Answer 1

To solve the equation \(-4(x - 8) = -32\), follow these steps:

1. Divide both sides by \(-4\): \[ x - 8 = \frac{-32}{-4} \] This simplifies to: \[ x - 8 = 8 \]

2. Add \(8\) to both sides: \[ x = 8 + 8 \] This simplifies to: \[ x = 16 \]

So, the solution to the equation is \(x = 16\).
