Question

Solve equation x/3+4=-4

Answer 1

x= -24

Explanation:

Step 1: You have to try to get x/3 by itself, so you will have to subtract 4 on both sides.

Step 2: Solve -4 - 4

The answer you should have gotten is -8.

Your new equation to solve is x/3 = -8

Step 3: You have to now get X by itself so you have to multiply 3 on both sides.

Step 4: Solve -8 x 3

The answer you should have gotten is -24

x=-24

Answer 2

-24 is your answer for x.

Explanation:

Isolate the variable (x). Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS (Parenthesis, Exponents (& roots), Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction).

First, subtract 4 from both sides:

(x/3) + 4 (-4) = -4 (-4)

x/3 = -4 - 4

x/3 = -8

Next, to fully isolate the variable x, multiply 3 to both sides.

(x/3)(3) = (-8)(3)

x = (-8)(3)

x = -24

-24 is your answer for x.
