Question

What is the solution to this equation?

– 8х + 4 = 36
ОА. x = -5
ОВ. x= -4
Ос. х = 5
O D. x= 4

Answer 1

The answer is B, x=-4

Explanation:

-8x + 4 = 36

-8x - 4 = 36 - 4

-8x = 32

-8x/-8 = 32/-8

x = -4

Answer 2

b) -4

- 8x +4 =36

First, we subtract 4 from 36 to get 32

36-4=32

-8x=32

Since a negative times a negative equals a positive, then the answer has to be negative because 36 is positive.

32 divided by 8 = 4

B) -4
