Question 3 options:

-46


54

Answer 1

x + 4 = -50

x = -50 - 4

x = -54

-54 is your answer

Answer 2

Answer: A. -54. x=-54/-54=x. *The answer should be the negative sign.*

Explanation:

addition property of equality is adding the same number to both sides of an equation does not change the equation.

a+c=b+c

subtract by 4 both sides of an equation.

x+4-4=-50-4

simplify by equation.

-50-4=-54

50+4=54

x=-54/ and -54=x
