Question

Equation: –4x – 5 + 2x = –11

Answer 1

x= 3

Explanation:

=> -4x – 5 + 2x = -11

=> -2x = -11+5

=> -2x = -6

=> x= 6/2

=> x= 3

Answer 2

x = 3

Explanation:

-4x + 2x - 5 = -11

Combine like terms

-2x - 5 = -11

Add 5 to both sides

-2x = -11 + 5

-2x = -6

Divide both sides by (-2)

x = -6/-2

x = 3
