Question

Solve the equation. −4x+3=19

Answer 1

Answer:

$\large\boxed{x=-4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$-4x+3=19\qquad\text{subtract 3 from both sides}\\\\-4x+3-3=19-3\\\\-4x=16\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-4)}\\\\\dfrac{-4x}{-4}=\dfrac{16}{-4}\\\\x=-4$

Answer 2

Step 1: Combine like terms ( 3 and 19) by subtracting 3 to both sides

-4x + (3-3) = 19 -3

-4x = 16

Step 2: Isolate x by dividing -4 to both sides

$\frac{-4x}{-4} =\frac{16}{-4}$

x = -4
