How would i do 5-4x equals -11
5-4x = -11
-4x = -5 -ll
x = -16/-4
x = 4
Thank u
You're welcome.
To solve the equation 5 - 4x = -11, you need to isolate the variable x. Here's how you can do it step-by-step:
1. Start with the given equation: 5 - 4x = -11.
2. First, let's get rid of the constant term by moving it to the other side of the equation. To do this, subtract 5 from both sides:
5 - 4x - 5 = -11 - 5.
Simplifying, we have:
-4x = -16.
3. Now, we are left with -4x = -16. To isolate x, divide both sides by -4:
-4x / -4 = -16 / -4.
This simplifies to:
x = 4.
Therefore, the solution to the equation 5 - 4x = -11 is x = 4.
