HELPPP MEHH PLZZZ

Answer 1

decimal form: x= -0.6 repeating (the 6 is repeating). fraction form: -2/3

Explanation:

isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable.

Answer 2

x = -4

Explanation:

So we have this algebraic equation: x + 4 = −x − 4

All we have to do is move all the x's to the right hand side and the other numbers to the left hand side, like this:

x + x = - 4 - 4

2x = -8

x =
`(-8)/(2)`

x = -4
