Answer 1

Hello!

Answer: x=-9 *The answer must have negative sign*

Step-by-step explanation:

First you had to do is subtract by 4 from both sides of an equation.

`4-4x-4=40-4`

Then, simplify.

`-4x=36`

Divide by -4 both sides of an equation.

`(-4x)/(-4)= (36)/(-4)`

Finally simplify.

`36/4=9`

It change positive to negative sign.

`x=-9`

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Have a great day!
