Question

-4x + 7 = 11 help me please!

Answer 1

you want to get "x" by its self.

-4x+7=11 (subtract 7 on both sides)
-4x=4 (divide -4 on both sides)
x=-1

Answer 2

-4x + 7 = 11

First, subtract 7 from both sides. / Your problem should look like:
`-4x = 11 - 7`
Second, subtract 11 - 7. / Your problem should look like:
`-4x = 4`
Third, divide both sides by -4. / Your problem should look like:
`x = (4)/(-4)`
Fourth, change the fraction to a negative. / Your problem should look like:
`x = -(4)/(4)`
Fifth, cancel 4 out. / Your problem should look like:
`x = -1`

Answer: x = -1
