Question

Solve x/-4 -(-8) = 12
16
80
-80
-16

Answer 1

Hello there! :)

Answer:

x=16

*The answer must have a positive sign.*

Explanation:

Lesson: Addition/Subtraction/Multiplication/ and Division property of equality

`(x)/(4)+8=12`

You subtract by 8 from both sides of an equation.

`(x)/(4)+8-8=12-8`

Then, you subtract by the numbers from left too right.

`(x)/(4)=4`

Next, you multiply by 4 from both sides of an equation.

`(4x)/(4)=4*4`

And finally, you multiply by the numbers from left too right.

`4*4=16`

Final answer is x=16

I hope this helps you!

Have a nice day! :)

Answer 2

`(x)/(-4)-(-8)=12\\\\-(x)/(4)+8=12\qquad\text{subtract 8 from obth sides}\\\\-(x)/(4)=4\qquad\text{multiply both sides by (-4)}\\\\\boxed{x=-16}`
