Question

-4x-18=22,

I got x= -10, but I'm not sure if that is right. If it is could someone show me step by step and an easy way to remember how to do it.

Answer 1

Set up the equation

`- 4x - 18 = 22`
Then you want to het the x variable by itself, by elimating 18. So, you add 18 to both sides

`- 4x = 40`
Then to get x by itself you divide by -4 from both sides

`x = - 10`
You are correct.
