16=4x-4

OpenStudy (smokeysthename):

you gotta solve for x right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes please

OpenStudy (smokeysthename):

okay you'll want to isolate x. so to get x alone, add 4 to both sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4x=20 2x=10 x=5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

20=4x 20 / 4 = 5 ?

OpenStudy (raden_zaikaria):

16=4x-4, 4x=16+4 , x=20/4 , x= 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right?

OpenStudy (smokeysthename):

yes @tiffers24 good job (:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you :)

OpenStudy (smokeysthename):

no problem :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4x=20 divide both sides by 2 2x=10 divide both sides by 2 x=5

OpenStudy (smokeysthename):

or just divide both sides by 4 and get the answer right away???
