For this case we must solve the following linear equation:


-6x + 4= -124

Subtracting 4 from both sides of the equation we have:


-6x + 4-4 = -124-4\\-6x = -128

Dividing between -6 on both sides of the equation:


\frac {-6x} {- 6} = \frac{-128} {- 6}


x=(64)/(3)

The equation cannot be simplified, its decimal form is given by:


x = 21.3

Answer:


x = 21.3

-6x + 4 = -124

First bring 4 to the right side by subtracting 4 to both sides (what you do on one side you must do to the other). Since 4 is being added on the left side, subtraction (the opposite of addition) will cancel it out (make it zero) from the left side and bring it over to the right side.

-6x + 4 - 4 = -124 - 4

-6x + 0 = -128

-6x = -128

Now to completely isolate x you must divide -6 to both sides. Since -6 is being multiplied by x, division (the opposite of multiplication) will cancel -6 out (in this case it will make -6 one) from the left side and bring it over to the right side.

-6x/-6 = -128/-6

1x =
(128)/( 6)

^^^The fraction can be simplified further

x =
(64)/(3)

x ≈ 21.33

Hope this helped!
