Question

Solve 4 - x= -8.

pleaseandthankyouvmuch

Answer 1

x=12

Explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

4−x=−8

4+−x=−8

−x+4=−8

Step 2: Subtract 4 from both sides.

−x+4−4=−8−4

−x=−12

Step 3: Divide both sides by -1.

−x /−1 = −12 /−1

x=12

Answer 2

Well, we should first make it so that 4 and 8 are on one side of the equal sign and x is on the other.

4-x=-8

+x +x

--------------

4= -8+x

Then, we do the same thing for the 8

4= -8 +x

+8 +8

---------------

12=x

Therefore, x=12
