Solve the equation 4 (x - 3) = 16

first distribute 4 to x and - 34x-12=16 - --> add 12 to get rid of it on one side but u have to add it to 16 also4x (-12+12) 12s cancel out now we have - --> 4x=16=12 add4x=28now divide 4 by both sided too 4/4 x=284rz cancle out so u have - -> x=28/4 reducex = 7

so your answer would be x=7

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

first distribute 4 to x and - 3

4x-12=16 - --> add 12 to get rid of it on one side but u have to add it to 16 also

4x (-12+12) 12s cancel out now we have - --> 4x=16=12 add

4x=28

now divide 4 by both sided too 4/4 x=28

4rz cancle out so u have - -> x=28/4 reduce

x = 7
