Question

-3 - x = -2w + 4v, for x

Answer 1

Hi there!

We have:

-3 - x = -2w + 4v

Solve for x

Start by adding 3 to both sides

-3 - x + 3 = -2w + 4v + 3

-x = -2w + 4v + 3

Remember that we cannot leave the x with a negative sign.

There are two ways to remove the negative sign.
1) We can divide both sides by -1
2) We can multiply both sides by -1

In this, I am going to multiply both sides by -1

-x * -1 = (-2w + 4v + 3)(-1)

x = 2w - 4v - 3


I hope this helps.

Please let me know if you have questions about the answer.

Thanks!
