Answer 1

42

Explanation:

To solve the equation **-2(1+÷) + 90=4** for **x**, we need to isolate the variable on one side of the equation. We can do this by performing inverse operations on both sides of the equation. First, we will add 2 to both sides of the equation:

```

-2(1+÷) + 90 + 2 = 4 + 2

-2(1+÷) + 92 = 6

```

Next, we will subtract 92 from both sides of the equation:

```

-2(1+÷) = -86

```

Now, we will divide both sides of the equation by -2:

```

1+÷ = 43

```

Finally, we will subtract 1 from both sides of the equation:

```

÷ = 42

```

Therefore, **x = 42**. The solution is a whole number, so it is already in its simplest form.
