Question

You begin solving the equation 4−5=59 4 - 5 x = 59 by subtracting 4 4 from both sides. Which is the best choice for Step 2 2 ?

Answer 1

4 – 5x = 59, x = -11

Explanation:

The given equations is :

4 – 5x = 59

Subtracting 4 both sides,

4 – 5x -4 = 59-4

-5x = 55

Dividing both sides by -5.

x = -11

So, the answer of the given equation is -11.
