4x +40 - 6 =? *******
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Nope the 4 in the front is supposed to have a negative sign in front of it. REALLY SORRY!!!
OpenStudy (rmrjr22):
ok now combine from other side
OpenStudy (rmrjr22):
make sure to leave x all by itself
OpenStudy (anonymous):
It's just in the end I get the x being positive but the number being negative.

SO what do I do?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Bye I just got the answer from my dad. Thanks so Much
OpenStudy (rmrjr22):
x = -52
OpenStudy (jhannybean):
distribute the 4 and the -3 to the stuff in parenthesis on both sides of the equation
-4(x) -4(10) -6 = -3(x) -3(-2)
Simplify.
-4x -40 -6 = -3x +6
Move all your x's to one side. this means adding 3x to both sides
-4x + 3x - 40 - 6 =-3x + 3x + 6
Simplify
-x - 46 = + 6
isolate the x on one side and your constants on the other. You can do this by adding +46 to both sides.
-x - 46 + 46 = +6 + 46
Simplify
-x = +52
divide both sides by -1
-x/-1 =52/-1
Simplify
x = - 52
