Question

Solve the equation and check your solution: x + 4 = -2 +

Answer 1

x = -6

Explanation:

Solving an equation:

x + 4 = -2

Subtract 4 from both sides,

x + 4 - 4 = -2 - 4

x = -6

`\boxed{\bf x = -6}`

Check: Substitute x = -6 in the LHS of the equation,

LHS = x +4

= -6 + 4

= -2 = RHS
