Question

What is the value of x in the equation −x = 4 − 3x + 6?

5
10
−5
−10

Answer 1

−x = 4 − 3x + 6

Move the -3x to the other side and simplify 4+6.

2x= 10

Divide both sides by 2

x=5.

Answer 2

Answer: First option.

Explanation:

Given the equation
`-x = 4- 3x + 6`, you need to solve for the variable "x" to find its value.

Add the like terms on the right side of the equation:

`-x = 10-3x`

Now you need to subtract 10 from both sides of the equation:

`-x-10 = 10- 3x -10`

`-x-10 =- 3x`

The next step is to add "x" to both sides of the equation:

`-x-10+x = - 3x +x`

`-10 = - 2x`

And finally, divide both side by -2:

`(-10)/(-2)=(-2x)/(-2)\\\\x=5`
