Question

-x + 4 = -9
Please help

Answer 1

x=13

Explanation:

subtract 4 from both sides and you get -13

the answer can't say -x=-13 because the x has to be positive

so move the negative sign to the other side which would make -13 positive.

then you have x=13 which is correct...hopefully that helps

Answer 2

13

Explanation:

-x + 4 = -9

-x = -13

x = 13
