Answer: x = −18
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-4' to each side of the equation.
4 + -4 + -1x = 22 + -4
Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0
0 + -1x = 22 + -4
-1x = 22 + -4
Combine like terms: 22 + -4 = 18
-1x = 18
Divide each side by '-1'.
x = -18
Simplifying
x = -18
