Question

What is the solution to the equation?

4x - 26 - 3x = 16 - 20

(I got my answer as 22, and that was correct, but I had completely forgotten how I did it. Help please)

Answer 1

Question: 4x - 26 - 3x = 16 - 20

Answer and Explanation:-

First, we combine like terms.

4x - 3x = x

Now, rewrite the equation.

x - 26 = 16 - 20

16 - 20 = -4

x - 26 = -4

Apply the inverse operation.

x - 26 = -4
+26 +26

x = 22

Final answer: x equals 22, so the solution is 22.

Answer 2

first you can add 26 on both sides so you gonna have : 4x - 3x = 16 - 20 + 26
so you can say : x = -4 + 26 so x= 22 :)))
