Answer:

X=0

Explanation:

add 30 to both sides

-4(x-4)-30+30=-14+30

simplify

-4(x-4)=16

Divide both sides by - 4

-4(x-4)/-4=16/-4

simplify

x-4=-4

add four to both sides

x-4+4= -4+4

simplify

x=0

Answer:

x = 0

Explanation:

- 4(x - 4) - 30 = - 14​

-4x + 16 - 30 = -14

-4x - 14 = -14

-4x = -14 + 14

-4x = 0

x = 0 / -4

x = 0
