OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nope just solving the equation

OpenStudy (rmrjr22):

ok so lets just factor it out, you know how to do that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-4x-46-6=-3x+6 -4x-52=-3x+6 I need help from here

OpenStudy (rmrjr22):

watch ur signs

OpenStudy (rmrjr22):

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.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

SO what do I do?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Bye I just got the answer from my dad. Thanks so Much

OpenStudy (rmrjr22):

x = -52

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
