Question

Can you please Solve this and please show you work.
-4x+1=21

Answer 1

`\huge\text{Hey there!}`

`\large\textsf{-4x + 1 = 21}`

`\large\text{SUBTRACT 1 to BOTH SIDES}`

`\large\textsf{-4x + 1 - 1 = 21 - 1}`

`\large\text{CANCEL out: 1 - 1 because that gives you 0 }`

`\large\text{KEEP: 21 - 1 because that helps solve for x}`

`\large\text{21 - 1 = \bf 20}`

`\large\text{New equation: \textsf{ -4x = 20}}`

`\large\text{DIVIDE -4 to BOTH SIDES}`

`\mathsf{(-4x)/(-4)=(20)/(-4)}`

`\large\text{CANCEL out: }\mathsf{(-4)/(-4)}\large\text{ because that gives you 1}`

`\large\text{KEEP: }\mathsf{(20)/(-4)}\large\text{ because it gives you the value of x}`

`\mathsf{x = (20)/(-4)}`

`\mathsf{(20)/(-4)= 20/ -4=\bf -5}`

`\boxed{\boxed{\large\text{Answer: \huge \bf x = -5}}}\huge\checkmark`
