Question

Problem 1 + 10x + 13 = 4

Answer 1

Answer:

$x = -1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation: $1+10x+13=4$

Step 1: Balance both parts of the equation.

$1+10x+13=4$

$(10x)+(1+13)=4$

$10x+14=4$

$10x+14=4$

Step 2: Reduce 14 from both parts of the equation.

$10x+14-14=4-14$

$10x= -10$

Step 3: Split both sides by 10, because $\mathrn {10x = -10}$.

$\frac{10x}{10} = \frac{-10}{10}$

$10 / -10 = -1$

Therefore, x = -1.
