Answer:
Statement:
[tex]2(-x+4)=3[/tex]
Reason:
If we want to prove this statement, we have to isolate [tex]x[/tex] from the equation:
[tex]2(-x+4)=3[/tex]
Applying the distributive property:
[tex]-2x+8=3[/tex]
Grouping similar terms:
[tex]-2x=3-8[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{-5}{-2}[/tex]
Finally:
[tex]x=\frac{5}{2}[/tex]
