Answer:
x=−4
Explanation:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
4(x−1)+5x=6x−16
(4)(x)+(4)(−1)+5x=6x+−16(Distribute)
4x+−4+5x=6x+−16
(4x+5x)+(−4)=6x−16(Combine Like Terms)
9x+−4=6x−16
9x−4=6x−16
Step 2: Subtract 6x from both sides.
9x−4−6x=6x−16−6x
3x−4=−16
Step 3: Add 4 to both sides.
3x−4+4=−16+4
3x=−12
Step 4: Divide both sides by 3.
3x/3=-12/3
x=-4
