Look at the steps used when solving
4(x – 3) = 8

Answer:
4(x – 3) = 8
4x - 12 = 8 u multiply 4 by x and 3
4x = 8 + 12 u switch 12 to the other side to leave x alone and when doing that u change its symbol to - to +
4x = 20 now ur going to switch 4 to the other side and since its multiplication it going to change to division
x = 20/4
x= 5
