The answer is x = -1

Step-by-step explanation: When it comes to solving for a variable (x) you have to distribute if there is parenthesis and then use inverse operations to get the answer.

4(x-1)=-8 Distribute

4x - 4 = -8 Subtract 4 from both sides

4x = -4 Divide 4 on both sides

x = - 1 and that is your answer
