Question

-13=4x+3

Help please

Answer 1

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Let's flip the equation so x is on the left. We want to isolate x to see what it equals.

4x+3=-13

We subtract 3 from both sides.

4x=-16

We divide both sides by 4.

x=-4.

Have a wonderful day! :D

Answer 2

`\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \sf{x = - 4}}}}}`

Explanation:

`\sf{ - 13 = 4x + 3}`

Swap the sides of the equation

`\longrightarrow{ \sf{4x + 3 = - 13}}`

Move 3 to right hand side and change it's sign

`\longrightarrow{ \sf{4x = - 13 - 3}}`

The negative integers are always added but posses the negative ( - ) sign

`\longrightarrow{ \sf{4x = - 16}}`

Divide both sides by 4

`\longrightarrow{ \sf{ (4x)/(4) = ( - 16)/(4)}}`

Calculate

`\longrightarrow{ \sf{x = - 4}}`

Hope I helped!

Best regards! :D
