Question

Zoe is solving the equation 3x-4=-10 for x solving for x

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

3 x - 4 = -10

Add 4 to both sides:

3 x + (4 - 4) = 4 - 10

4 - 4 = 0:

3 x = 4 - 10

4 - 10 = -6:

3 x = -6

Divide both sides of 3 x = -6 by 3:

(3 x)/3 = (-6)/3

3/3 = 1:

x = (-6)/3

The gcd of -6 and 3 is 3, so (-6)/3 = (3 (-2))/(3×1) = 3/3×-2 = -2:

Answer:  x = -2
