A. 48= -6b+2
B. 48= -6b-16
C. -384= -6b-16
D. -384= 3b+16

Respuesta :

Answer: OPTION B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation [tex]48=-8(\frac{3b}{4}+2)[/tex] you can find an equivalent equation by simplifying it.

You need to remember the multiplication of signs:

[tex](-)(-)=+\\(+)(+)=+\\(+)(-)=-[/tex]

Now you can apply the Distributive property:

[tex]48=\frac{(-8)(3b)}{4}+(-8)(2)\\\\48=\frac{-24b}{4}-16[/tex]

Simplifying the equation, you get:

[tex]48=-6b-16[/tex]

You can observe that this equivalent equation matches with the equation provided in option B.
