The solution to 4x + 7 - 9 = -14 is

Answer 1

-3

WORK:

4x +7 - 9 = -14

4x + (-2) = -14

4x - 2 = -14

4x = -14+2

4x = -12

x=-12/4

x= -3

Answer 2

Hello!

We will solve this below.

First we add 9 to both sides.

4x+7=-5

Subtract 7 from both sides

4x=-12

Finally, we divide both sides by 4.

x= -3

I hope this helps!
