Question

Find the x value 4x-28 9x

Answer 1

Answer: -5.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

(4x + -28) = 9x

Reorder the terms:

(-28 + 4x) = 9x

Remove parenthesis around (-28 + 4x)

-28 + 4x = 9x

Solving

-28 + 4x = 9x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-9x' to each side of the equation.

-28 + 4x + -9x = 9x + -9x

Combine like terms: 4x + -9x = -5x

-28 + -5x = 9x + -9x

Combine like terms: 9x + -9x = 0

-28 + -5x = 0

Add '28' to each side of the equation.

-28 + 28 + -5x = 0 + 28

Combine like terms: -28 + 28 = 0

0 + -5x = 0 + 28

-5x = 0 + 28

Combine like terms: 0 + 28 = 28

-5x = 28

Divide each side by '-5'.

x = -5.6

Simplifying

x = -5.6
