Question

Solve for x and show all work x + 3x - 4 = 5 - (x + 10)

Answer 1

Answer:

-1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

x+3x−4=5−(x+10)

x+3x−4=5+−1(x+10)(Distribute the Negative Sign)

x+3x−4=5+−1x+(−1)(10)

x+3x−4=5+−x+−10

x+3x+−4=5+−x+−10

(x+3x)+(−4)=(−x)+(5+−10)(Combine Like Terms)

4x+−4=−x+−5

4x−4=−x−5

Step 2: Add x to both sides.

4x−4+x=−x−5+x

5x−4=−5

Step 3: Add 4 to both sides.

5x−4+4=−5+4

5x=−1

Step 4: Divide both sides by 5.

5x /5

=

−1 /5
