Question

Need help solving this equation: -4x + 33 = 2x + 81

Answer 1

x = -8

Explanation:

Collect the like terms

-4x - 2x = 81 - 33

-6x = 48

x = 48 / - 6

x = - 8

Answer 2

`\\ \sf\longmapsto -4x+33=2x+81`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto -4x-2x=81-33`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto -6x=48`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto x=(48)/(-6)`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto x=-8`
