Question

Points)2x + 4 = -7xWhat is the answer

Answer 1

Answer: x = -4/9

Explanations:

The given equation is 2x + 4 = -7x

The first step is to collect like terms, which means 2x will go and meet -7x on the right.

The equation becomes:

4 = -7x - 2x

4 = -9x

Divide both sides by -9, the equation becomes:

`\begin{gathered} (4)/(-9)\text{ = }(-9x)/(-9) \\ (-4)/(9)=x \\ x\text{ = }(-4)/(9) \end{gathered}`
