Question

Enter the value of x that makes the equation −11(x + 4) + 10x = 27 true

Answer 1

-71

Explanation:

You can first distribute the numbers in the parenthesis.

-11x-44 (-11*x-11*4)

-11x-44+10x=27

You can now combine like terms.

-11x+10x=-1x

-1x-44=27

This is now a two-step equation problem.

-1x-44=27

+44=+44

-1x=71

`(-1x)/(-1)` =
`(71)/(-1)`

x=-71

Answer 2

x = - 71

Explanation:

-11x -44 + 10 x =27

-x = 71

x = - 71
