solve the linear equation? -4x+9=33 show work

Parth (parthkohli):

Seems like we must separate the two friends -4x and 9.

Parth (parthkohli):

-4x is a great friend of 9, and when 9 goes to 33 it'd become angry. Thus, 9 becomes negative 9.

Parth (parthkohli):

-4x = 33 - 9 -4x = 24

OpenStudy (anonymous):

will that be the final answer??

Parth (parthkohli):

Divide both sides by negative four.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-6 is the answer

Parth (parthkohli):

Yes.
