Question

The solution for 7x+4=x-2 is1: -12: -33: (-1,-3)

Answer 1

we are given the following equation:

`7x+4=x-2`

To solve for "x" we will first subtract "x" to both sides:

`\begin{gathered} 7x-x+4=x-x-2 \\ 6x+4=-2 \end{gathered}`

Now we will subtract 4 to both sides:

`\begin{gathered} 6x+4-4=-2-4 \\ 6x=-6 \end{gathered}`

Dividing both sides by 6:

`x=-(6)/(6)=-1`

Therefore, x = -1
