Question

Solve for x (-4/3) x - 6 = -26 A. −27 B. −15 C. 15 D. 27

Answer 1

$- \dfrac{4}{3} x - 6 = -26$

//Add 6 to both sides:
$- \dfrac{4}{3} x = -20$

//Multiply by -1 on both sides:
$\dfrac{4}{3} x = 20$

Multiply by 3 on both sides:
$4x = 60$

Divide by 4 on both sides:
$x = 15$

Answer: x = 15 (Answer C)

Answer 2

The answer would be C. I found this out by adding 6 to the -6 and the -26. Then you divide -4/3 by -20 which is 15. Hope this helps! :)
