Question

What is x

`- 20 = - 4x + - 6x`

Answer 1

x=2

Explanation:

Solve for x:

-20 = -10 x

-20 = -10 x is equivalent to -10 x = -20:

-10 x = -20

Divide both sides of -10 x = -20 by -10:

(-10 x)/(-10) = (-20)/(-10)

(-10)/(-10) = 1:

x = (-20)/(-10)

The gcd of -20 and -10 is -10, so (-20)/(-10) = (-10×2)/(-10×1) = (-10)/(-10)×2 = 2:

Answer: x = 2

Answer 2

x=2

Explanation:

- 20 = - 4x + - 6x

Combine like terms

-20 = -10x

Divide each side by -10

-20/-10 = -10x/-10

2 = x
