Question

What is the value of x in the equation −x = 4 − 3x + 6? (5 points)510−5−10

Answer 1

x = 5. Option A is correct

Explanations:

Given the equation below;

`-x=4-3x+6`

Collect the like terms

`-x+3x=4+6`

Simplify for the value of x

`2x=10`

Divide both sides by 2

`\begin{gathered} (2x)/(2)=(10)/(2) \\ x=5 \end{gathered}`

Hence the value of x in the equation is 5
