Question

4 - 2x = 10 A) -7 B) -3 C) 0 D) 3

Answer 1

x= -3

Explanation:

First, you would subtract 4 from both sides to isolate the -2x, which makes -2x=6. Then to isolate the x, you divide by the negative 2 (negative because the subtract sign is before it.) to get x=-3

Answer 2

B) -3

Explanation:

4 - 2x = 10

Subtract 4 from each side

4-4 - 2x = 10 -4

-2x = 6

Divide by -2

-2x/-2 = 6/-2

x = -3
