Question

I need help with this Two-step equation 18-4x= -2 Can anyone help?

Answer 1

- - Star to simplify both sides of the equation.

$18-4x=-2$

- - Now you have top subtract 18 from both sides.

$-4x+18-18=-2-18$
- - Solve: 
$-4x=-20$

- - And divide both sides by -4.

- - Solve: 
$\frac{-4x}{-4} = \frac{-20}{-4}$

$x=5$

Answer 2

First u would take the 18 and - it on both sides
18 - 18 - 4x = -2 - 18 
which would be 
-4x = -20 
then u would divide 4 on bothe sides 
-4x/4 = -20/4
which would give u 
- x = - 5
this is the answer for the negative x 
for positive u would flip the answer 
so 
x = 5 which then = 4
x=5 is ur answer 
hope this helps or u understand wat im sayin
