Question

-X + 5 = 1
What is the answer for this equation and the steps

Answer 1

4

Explanation:

First, let's move "+5" on the other side. We should change "+" on "-":

-x=1-5

1-5=-4:

-x=-4 |• (-1)

x=4

Answer 2

x=4

Explanation:

-x=1-5 (subtract 5 from both sides to isolate the x variable)

-x= -4 (1-5= -4)

x=4 (divide both sides by -1 so the x will not be a negative.)

Therefore, your answer will be x=4. Hope this helps! :)
