A student is solving the equation \( -4(x-3)=8(x-4)-8 \). Which describes a first step the student could use to solve the equation correctly? The student can distribute -4 on the left side of the equation, resulting in \( -4 x-7=8(x-4)-8 \). The student can distribute -4 on the left side of the equation, resulting in \( -4 x+12=8(x-4)-8 \) The student can divide both sides of the equation by -4 , resulting in \( x-3=-4(x-4)-4 \). The student can divide both sides of the equation by -4 , resulting in \( x-3=-2(x-1)-2 \).
