4. ma. bay: um equauu. us Aauu o nave u u: same sunuuuu. 0 Equation A: -3(x + 7} = 24 0 Equation B: x + 3' = -8 Which statement explains why this is true? A. Adding 3 to both sides of Equation A gives 3: + 7 = -8. 8. Applying the distributive property to Equation A gives )5: + 7 = -8. C. Subtracting 3 from both sides of Equation A gives .1: + 'i' = -8. D. Dividing both sides of Equation A by 3 gives I + T = -3
