Question

What value of x makes the equation true?

Answer 1

Answer:

A.) x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Simplify the expression

1.4x + 2.6x = -16

Simplify the arithmetic:

4x = -16

2. Isolate the x

4x = -16

Divide both sides by 4:

$\frac{4x}{4}$ = $\frac{-16}{4}$

Simplify the fraction:

x = $\frac{-16}{4}$

Find the greatest common factor of the numerator and denominator:

x = $\frac{-4 * 4}{1 * 4}$

Factor out and cancel the greatest common factor:

x = -4

A.) x = -4

Answer 2

Answer:

$1.4x + 2.6x = - 16 \\ 4x = - 16 \\ x = \frac{ - 16}{4} \\ x = - 4 \\ thank \: you$
