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]
