Question

-16=(-4)-6x what does x mean

Answer 1

Explanation

Rearrange terms

-16=(- 4)- 6 x

-16=-6x - 4

Add 4 to both sides

-16= - 6x - 4

-16 + 4= -6x - 4 + 4

Simplify the expression

-16+4=6x - 4+4

-12=6x

Divide both sides by the same factor

-12=6x

-12/-6= -6x/-6

so

x=2

Answer 2

Answer: x=2 is the answer
