x/4 + 1 = -5
1. -2****
2. 16
3. 4
4. -24
no
subtract 1 from both sides
then multiply both sides by 4
Is it number 3?
I got 4
Why didn't you follow Reiny's directions?
4 - 1 = 3. -5 - 1 -6
what do i do now?
just follow the directions!
x/4 + 1 = -5
subtract 1 from both sides
x/4 = -6
then multiply both sides by 4
x = -24
And last and most important, check your answer to see whether it works in the equation!
Does -2/4 + 1 = -5?
Does 3/4 + 1 -5?
Does 4/4 + 1 = -5?
No No No
You would have known you were wrong had you checked your answer.
Ok thank you very much, ill double check my work next time....
Both sides means both sides of the equal sign.
1 - 1 = 0
-5 -1 = -6
now multiply both sides by 4.
