Question

-14 + x = 16 - 4x please show your work

Answer 1

-14+x=16-4x

-14-16 = -4x-x

-30= -5x

x = 30/5 = 6 .

The required value of x is = 6 .

Answer 2

Here's the answer

Given Equation =>

$\sf{-14 + x = 16 - 4x}$

Taking 16 to L .H. S and x to the R.H. S

$\sf{- 14 - 16 = - 4x - x}$

Simplify the Equation ,

$\sf{ - 30 = - 5x}$

Multiplying both sides by ( -1 ) =>

$\sf{- 30 \times( - 1) = - 5x \times ( - 1)}$

$\sf{30 = 5x}$

Dividing both sides by 5 =>

$\sf{ \frac{30}{5} = \frac{5x}{5} }$

$\sf{6 = x}$

Therefore , The value of x is 6.

Thanks!!
