Question

X+5 divided by 2 equals -4. What does the x equal

Answer 1

Answer:

x= -13

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{x+5}{2} =-4$

-4(2)=-8

-8-5=-13

x=-13

Answer 2

Answer:

x=-13

Step-by-step explanation:

x+5/2=-4

we need to isolate x, so the first thing we do is get rid of the thing being divided by x, by doing the opposite: we multiply

(2) x+5/2 =-4(2)

x+5=-8

subtract 5 from both sides to isolate x

x+5-5=-8-5

x=-13
