Question

What is the solution to this equation?

-8x + 4 = 36
A. x= -5
B. x= 4
C. x = 5
D. x= -4.

Answer 1

D. x= -4

Explanation:

-8x × -4 = 32 + 4 = 36

you can subtract 4 from 36, which leaves you with -8x = 32. you then divide 32 by -8 to (1) cancel out -8 which will leave you with x, and (2) give you your answer. 32 / -8 = -4.

x is -4
