Question

Solve the equation: 4x - 9x + 11 = -24. When you guys solve this, be sure to show your work.

Answer 1

The answer is 7

Explanation:

Firstly, you have to subtract 11 from -24, which is -35. Then, add the values with x. Which is -5. -35 divided by -5 equals 7. You can check the answer by doing (4*7)-(9*7)+11=-24

Answer 2

4x - 9x + 11 = -24

-5x + 11 = - 24

-5x = -24 - 11

-5x = -35

-5x/-5 = -35/-5

x = 7
