8x=-4(x+3) i would really appreciate some

x=−1

Explanation:

Step 1. You need to simplify both sides of the equation.

8x=−4(x+3)

8x=(−4)(x)+(−4)(3)   (Remember to distribute)

8x=−4x+−12

8x=−4x−12

Step 2. Then add 4x to both sides.

8x+4x=−4x−12+4x

12x=−12

Step 3. Lastly, divide both sides of the equation by 12.

12x/12 = -12/12

x=−1

Final x=−1

Hope I could help! :)

for finding the midpoint of any given 2 pair of points simply add the respective x coordinates with other x coordinate and the y coordinate with other y coordinate and divide them by 2

in your question it will be :

(3+1)/2 for the x coordinate of mid point i.e 2

[8+(-4)]/2 for the y coordinate of midpoint i.e 2

so coordinates of mid point of points (3,8) and (1,-4) will be (2,2)

there are no answer choices
