Question

Find the value of x and check the solution.
5 + 4x = -11​

Answer 1

x = -4

Explanation:

5 + 4x = -11

4x = -11 - 5

4x = -16 (Divide 4 both sides)

x = -4

5 + 4x = -11

5 + 4(-4) = -11

5 - 16 = -11

-11 = -11

Answer 2

x=-4

Explanation:

5+4x=-11

4x=-11-5

4x=-16

x=-16/4

x=-4

5+4(-4)=-11

5-16=-11

-11=-11
