Math Problem Statement

Which of the following describes the correct process for solving the equation 2x − 4 = 20 and arrives at the correct solution?

Add 4 to both sides, and then divide by 2. The solution is x = 12. Divide both sides by −4, and then subtract 2. The solution is x = −7. Subtract 4 from both sides, and then divide by 2. The solution is x = −12. Multiply both sides by −4, and then divide by 2. The solution is x = −40.
