How do i solve for X

2x+4-7x+9x= -2

What is X?

Answer 1

x = -3/2 or -1.5

Explanation:

You have to get X on one side by itself.

2x + 4 - 7x + 9x = -2

Subtract the 4

2x - 7x + 9x = -6

Combine like terms

-5x + 9x = -6

Combine like terms

4x = -6

Divide by 4

x = -6/4

Simplify

x = -3/2 or -1.5
