Answer by rapaljer(4671) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
By the distributive property, this is -(4x-8)=-4x+8.
If you didn't understand this one, then you really need to see my website!! I have an explanation here that is probably easier than the one in your textbook!!
To find my website, click on my tutor name "rapaljer" anywhere in algebra.com. Then click on my website that you will find there, and it goes directly to my Homepage. From my Homepage, look for the link that says, "Basic, Intermediate, adn College Algebra." Choose "Basic Algebra", then "Chapter 1", and look for "Section 1.06 Combining Like Terms and the Distributive Property." If you have trouble with this section, then take a look at the previous sections. Math is cumulative, so if you don't understand the earlier sections, that might explain your problems later on.
Also, my "Basic, Intermediate, and College Algebra: One Step at a Time" sections are supported by my "MATH IN LIVING COLOR" sections, where the most frequently asked problems are solved IN COLOR!!
I also have a number of vidoes on selected topics from my own classes a few years before I retired. These can be found by looking on my "Rapalje Videos in Living Color."
I hope you like my website, and that you will recommend it friends and family. If you have trouble finding it, then just do a Google search for "Math in Living Color". It comes right up there for you.
Oh, and Merry Christmas to all!!
