Question

(4x + 18) value of X

Answer 1

x = (-9)/2 or decimal x = -4.5

Explanation:

Solve for x:

4 x + 18 = 0

Subtract 18 from both sides:

4 x + (18 - 18) = -18

18 - 18 = 0:

4 x = -18

Divide both sides of 4 x = -18 by 4:

(4 x)/4 = (-18)/4

4/4 = 1:

x = (-18)/4

The gcd of 18 and 4 is 2, so (-18)/4 = (-(2×9))/(2×2) = 2/2×(-9)/2 = (-9)/2:

Answer: x = (-9)/2
