Question

Solve for x. x - 16 = -20

PLEASE HELPP

Answer 1

x-16=-20
answer: x= -4

Answer 2

x = -4

Explanation:

x - 16 = -20

16 is being subtracted from x. To get x alone, you need to add 16 to x - 16.

We must do the same to both sides of an equation, so we add 16 to both sides of the equation.

x - 16 + 16 = -20 + 16

x = -4
