Which method correctly solves the equation using the distributive property?

Negative 0.2 (x minus 4) = negative 1.7
Negative 0.2 (x minus 4) = negative 1.7. Negative 0.2 x minus 4 = negative 1.7. Negative 0.2 x = 2.3. x = negative 11.5.


Negative 0.2 (x minus 4) = negative 1.7. x minus 4 = 0.34. x = 4.34.


Negative 0.2 (x minus 4) = negative 1.7. Negative 0.2 x + 0.8 = negative 1.7. Negative 0.2 x = negative 2.5. x = 12.5.


Negative 0.2 (x minus 4) = negative 1.7. Negative 0.2 x minus 0.8 = negative 1.7. Negative 0.2 x = negative 0.9. x = 4.5.
