Question

what is the answer to 5-3(4+x)-4x

Answer 1

Are you trying to simplify this expression?

Answer 2

5-12-3x-4x=0
-7-7x=0
-7=7x

Answer 3

x = -1

Answer 4

Once you get -7=7x, you simply divide to isolate the variable

Answer 5

@gallaxhar is correct

Answer 6

It's x = -1. I see @gallaxhar has got it. So, I agree with gallaxhar. (:

Answer 7

Solve for x:
-7 (1+x) = 0
Divide both sides by a constant to simplify the equation.
Divide both sides of -7 (1+x) = 0 by -7:
1+x = 0/(-7)
Simplify 0/(-7).
0/(-7) = 0:
1+x = 0
Isolate terms with x to the left hand side.
Subtract 1 from both sides:
x+(1-1) = -1
Look for two terms that sum to zero.
1-1 = 0:
Answer:
x = -1

Answer 8

True that.
