Question

-5(3x-4)+4=114 answer

Answer 1

-5 * (3x - 4) + 4= 114

-15x +20 + 4 = 114

-15x = 114 - 24

-15x = 90

x = 90 : (-15)

x = -6

Answer 2

Subtract 4 from both sides:

$-5(3x - 4) = 110$

There is a coefficient for the term in parentheses: -5. To get rid of this coefficient, divide both sides by -5:

$3x - 4 = -22$

Add 4 to both sides:

$3x = -18$

Divide both sides by 3 to get x by itself:

$\boxed{x = -6}$
