21 = − 6 x − 3 x + 4 + 4 x
horsena [70]

Answer:

x=-17/5

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Simplify  -6x-3x+4+4x−6x−3x+4+4x  to  -5x+4−5x+4.

21=−5x+4

2. Subtract 44 from both sides.

21−4=−5x

3. Simplify  21-4 to 17.

17=-5x

4. Divided both sides by -5.

-17/5=x

5. Switch sides.

x=-17/5

Hope this helps.
