Question

What is the value of x in the equation –x = 4 – 3x + 6? (5 points)

Answer 1

-x = 4 -3x + 6

First, let's get x on one side.
Add 3x to both sides.

-x + 3x = 2x
-3x + 3x = 0

We now have:
2x = 4 + 6

Combine like-terms (add 4 to 6)
4 + 6 + 10

2x = 10

Divide both sides by 2 to solve for x.
2x / 2 = x
10 / 2 = 5

We're now left with:
x = 5

I hope this helps!
