Question

For each value of x, determine whether it is a solution to 4x-1=-29.

Answer 1

4x-1=-29

solution:

4x=-29+1
=> 4x= -28
x=-28/4
x=-7

answer is x=-7

Answer 2

The value of x is - 7.

Explanation:

4x - 1 = - 29

Add 1 to both sides.

4x - 1 + 1 = - 29 + 1

4x = - 28

Divide through by 4

x = -7
