Question

what is x if -2x + 4 = -6x - 17

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of x = -21/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :  -2x + 4 = -6x - 17

           x = ?

Solution : -2x + 4 = -6x - 17

Rearranging the like terms, we get

-2x + 6x = -17-4

        4x = -21

         x = -21/4

Answer 2

Answer:

We will get the value of x is $\frac{-21}{4}.$

Step-by-step explanation:

• As per the question we have to evaluate the given data.

              Given data:-  -2x+4=-6x-17.

              To find:- Value of x.

              Solution:-

• Here we will use the transposition method.

• Transposition is one of the linear equations.

• To solve the transposition method we will Identify the variables and constants.

• Then we Simplify the equation in LHS and RHS.

• Now Simplify the equation using arithmetic operations.

        $-2x+4=-6x-17\\=>-2x=-6x-17-4\\=>-2x+6x=-21\\=>4x=-21\\=>x=\frac{-21}{4}$
