Question

-13 = 4(5x - 1)-11x
what is the answer?

Answer 1

x=1

STEP:

-13=4(5x-1)-11x

Get rid of parenthesis by multiplying the inside by 4.

-13=20x-4-11x

-13=9x-4

Add 4 to both sides.

-9=9x

Divide both sides by 9.

-1=x

Answer 2

x=-1

Explanation:

-13=4(5x-1)=11x

-13=20x-4=11x

+13 +13

20x+9=11x

-20x -20x

9/9=-9x/9

x=-1
