Question

-6x-4+5x=4 What is "x". Please show your work.

Answer 1

Answer:

x would equal -8.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. combine like terms, and add -6x+5x, leaving you with -1x

2. add +4 to the other side of the equal sign, because to get rid of a negative you need to divide.

3.once you add the 4 over to the other side, the equation you should now be left with is -1x=8.

4. divide both sides of the equal sign by negative 1, and 8 divided by -1 should be -8, and thats the value of x.
