Given the following equation:

4(x + 2) = 20

Use the two methods you have learned to eliminate the parentheses and create a new equation that can be solved using inverse operations.

One method is to use the distributive property.

Using this method, the equivalent equation is .
Another method is to use the reciprocal.

Using this method, the equivalent equation is .

useing the distributive property the method is 4x+8=20

using the reciprocal the method is x+2=5

Step-by-step explanation:

first one is 4x+8= 20 second one is x+2=5

Step-by-step explanation:

please mark as brainliest :D

c. y = 1/4 x + 5

step-by-step explanation:

first, put the equation of the line on the graph into slope-intercept form

(y = mx + b):   y = -4x + 8

second, a perpendicular line has to have "an opposite/reciprocal slope" to the original slope. so, find the "m" value in your original equation (it's -4, right? )

original slope: m = -4   perpendicular slope: change the sign to its opposite and find the reciprocal ("flip" the number)

new slope is now positive (b/c the original slope was negative 4), and it's 1/4 (not the original slope of 4 or 4/1)

answer: i wpould go with c
