Explanation:

1.2(-2x -4) =-8

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

2(−2x−4)=−8

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2(−2x−4)=−8

(2)(−2x)+(2)(−4)=−8(Distribute)

−4x+−8=−8

−4x−8=−8

Step 2: Add 8 to both sides.

−4x−8+8=−8+8

−4x=0

x=0

2.−2(2x+6)=−8

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−2(2x+6)=−8

(−2)(2x)+(−2)(6)=−8(Distribute)

−4x+−12=−8

−4x−12=−8

Step 2: Add 12 to both sides.

−4x−12+12=−8+12

−4x=4

x=-1
