Question

The model represents an equation:
In:
What is the solution?

Answer 1

answer: -2

explanation: the equation is -5=4x+3 the you would subtract 3 from both sides to get -8=4x then you divide 4 and x will equal -2

Answer 2

Answer: -2.25 = x

Explanation:

The model represents the equation:

-1(6) = 4x + 1(3)

-6 = 4x + 3

SUBTRACT 3 FROM BOTH SIDES

-9 = 4x

DIVIDE BOTH SIDES BY 4

-2.25 = x
