Answer is x= 4/87 Step 1: multiply 4 by both sides of the equation which is 22. Which gives you x+4= 88x Step 2: Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign (it was +4 but it’s now -4) then move the variable to the left-hand side and change its sign (which is +88 but is now -88x) Step 3: collect like terms which is 1-88x that gives you -87x= -4 Step 4: divide both sides by -87 That gives you the answer
1/4x +1= 22 Multiply by 4 X+4 = 88x Move the terms X- 88x= -4 Collect like terms -87x=-4 Divide by -87 Equals 4/87
