Which of the following is a solution to the equation 16 = 4x - 4?
a. -5
b. -4
c. 5 (this one?)
d. 16
1.b
2.c
3.c
4.a
5.d
1. false
2. open
3. 5
4. 17.5
5. X=72
For your first question think about it like this -7+9=2 and -9+7=-2. -2 and 2 are not equal.
For 4x-3=19 you need to add 3 to both sides of your equation and then divide by four on both sides to get your answer for x then plug in x to your equation and see if it equals 19 in the end.
For 16=4x-4 add 4 to both sides and divide by 4x this should give you your final solution as to what x is equal to. I hope this helps.
Nola is right
whoops typo on your last problem I meant divide by 4 not 4x my apologies.
your choices were all correct
1-b- false
2-c- open
3-c- 5
4-a- 17.5
5-d- x=72
