Answer:

X= 20/3

Explanation:

−3x+4=−16

Step 1: Subtract 4 from both sides.

−3x+4−4=−16−4

−3x=−20

Step 2: Divide both sides by -3.

−3x −3 = −20 /−3

X= 20/3

Answer:

x=20/3

Explanation:

subtract 4 from both sides of the equation

-3x+(4-4)=(-16-4)

that gives you -3x=-20

then divide both sides by 3

-3x/3=-20/-3

so you get 20/3 because you canceled out 3 which just gives you x. so x is equal to 20/3
