Question

Please help meeeee!!!!!

Answer 1

Okay, Once Again The Value Of X Has Been Lost & It's Up To You To Find It.
$- \frac{1}{2} (x + 4) = 16$
1st. Divide Both Sides By -1/2, Dividing By -1/2 Is The Same As Multiplying By -2
$\frac{ - \frac{1}{2}(x + 4) }{ - \frac{1}{2} } = \frac{16}{ - \frac{1}{2} }$
2nd. Subtract 4 From Both Sides
$x + 4 = - 32$
$x + (4 - 4) = - 32 - 4$
3rd. Divide By The Coefficient Of X
$\frac{(1)x}{1} = \frac{ - 36}{1}$
4th.
$x = - 36$

The 3rd Step Is Technically Not Needed, Because We Know The Coefficient Of X In The Equation Is 1, If It Was Any Other Value, Then It's Needed.
