Answer: first one 5.55
Step-by-step explanation:
-4x+8=42
-4x+8-8=42-8
-4x=34
-4x/-4=34/-4
x= - 17/3
Answer:
Second one : x=-8+1/2
We move all terms to the left:
-4x+8-(42)=0
We add all the numbers together, and all the variables
-4x-34=0
We move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right
x=34/-4
x=-8+1/2
The first one is the answer
