Answer:
To solve for x, isolate it on one side of the equation.
Distribute the negative sign to all the terms on the right side of the equation. IMPORTANT: Two negatives make a positive. One positive and one negative make a negative.
-22=-x+4
Subtract 4 from both sides.
-22-4=-x
Combine like terms on the left side.
-26=-x
Divide both sides by -1.
x=26
Hope this helps! :)
Answer:
[tex]x=26[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Distribute
[tex]-22=-x+4[/tex]
2) Subtract 4 from both sides of the equation
[tex]-22-4=-x+4-4[/tex]
3) Simplify
a. Subtract the numbers
[tex]-26=-x+4-4[/tex]
b. Subtract the numbers
[tex]-26=x[/tex]
4) Divide both sides of the equation by the same term
[tex]\frac{-26}{-1}=\frac{-x}{-1}[/tex]
5) Simplify
a. Divide the numbers
[tex]26=\frac{-x}{-1}[/tex]
b. Cancel terms that are in the numerator and denominator
[tex]26 = x[/tex]
c. Move the variable to the left
[tex]x=26[/tex]
