Question

Solve for x
(-4/3) x - 6 = -26

A. −27
B. −15
C. 15
D. 27

Answer 1

The answer would be C. I found this out by adding 6 to the -6 and the -26. Then you divide -4/3 by -20 which is 15. Hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

`- (4)/(3) x - 6 = -26`

//Add 6 to both sides:

`- (4)/(3) x = -20`

//Multiply by -1 on both sides:

`(4)/(3) x = 20`

Multiply by 3 on both sides:

`4x = 60`

Divide by 4 on both sides:

`x = 15`
