Question

|-4+5x|=16
Help I'm confused.

Answer 1

x=4

Explanation:

|-4 + 5x|=16

First, combine like terms and use the properties of equality to get all variables on one side of the equation and the numbers on the other.

|5x - 4| = 16

Apply absolute value

5x - 4 = 16

5x - 4 = -16

Add 4 to both sides

5x = 20

5x = -12

Divide both sides by 5

x = 4

hope this helps :)
