    4 (x² - 2) = 28

    1. Distribute the 4

    4x² - 8 = - 28

    2. Plug in 3 and - 3

    4 (3) ² - 8 = 28

    4 (-3) ² - 8 = 28

    3. Square 3 and - 3

    4 (9) - 8 = 28

    4 (9) - 8 = 28

    28 = 28

    The reason both answers are the same is because whenever you put a negative number to an even power, the result becomes positive because any negative multiplied by a negative number is always positive.

    28 = 28
