Answer 2

Answer: -12

Explanation:

1. Write out the problem

4x+1=-47

2. Subtract 1 from both sides to get rid of the number without a variable, so the equation only has the number with the variable on one side and the number without the variable on the other side.

4x+1=-47

-1 -1

4x=-48

3. Divide both sides by 4 to isolate x.

4x/4=-48/4

x=-12
