Question

Which of the following values is the solution to the equation -16 + x = -30 ? -2 -14 -480 -46

Answer 1

-14

Explanation:

-16 + x = -30

add 16 to both sides

x = -14

Answer 2

The solution to the above given equation -16 + x = -30 is -14

Solution:

Given that expression is -16 + x = -30

We have to find the value of “x”

-16 + x = -30

Taking 16 to the other side, we get

x = -30 + 16

Subtracting -30 from 16 we get, -14

Therefore, x = -14

Thus from the above given options, -14 is the correct answer

Hence the solution to the given equation -16 + x = -30 is -14
