What is the solution of the equation -5(2x - 6) = -30?

–4
–2
2
4

The correct answer is: 4

The answer can be determined by first distributing the -5 to the parentheses, resulting in -10x + 30 = -30. Then, by subtracting 30 from both sides and dividing both sides by -10, we can solve for x and get the solution of x = 4. Option A is incorrect because it would result in -20, which is not equal to -30. Option B is incorrect because it would result in -10, which is also not equal to -30. Option C is incorrect because it would result in 30, which is not negative and does not satisfy the equation.
