-4x-23=-107
Help!?!?
-4x-23=-107
-4x = 23 - 107
-4x = -84
x = 21
Thanks!
To solve the equation -4x - 23 = -107, we want to isolate the variable x.
Step 1: Start by moving the constant term (-23) to the other side of the equation by adding 23 to both sides.
-4x - 23 + 23 = -107 + 23
-4x = -84
Step 2: Divide both sides of the equation by -4 to solve for x.
-4x / -4 = -84 / -4
x = 21
So, the solution to the equation is x = 21.
To check if the solution is correct, substitute x = 21 back into the original equation:
-4(21) - 23 = -107
-84 - 23 = -107
-107 = -107
Since both sides of the equation are equal, we can conclude that x = 21 is indeed the solution.
