Question

9 - 4x = -(2x + 1) whats the answer? I been doing this to long ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Your answer is; x= 5

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

9−4x=-(2x+1)

9+-4x=−2x +-1(Distribute)

−4x+9=-2x-1

Step 2: Add 2x to both sides.

-4x+9+2x=−2x-1+2x

-2x+9=-1

Step 3: Subtract 9 from both sides.

-2x+9-9=-1-9

-2x=-10

Step 4: Divide both sides by -2.

-2x/-2= -10/-2

x=5
