Question

solve this equation 8 = -4 +x

Answer 1

Do you think you can isolate the variable? ( Get x by itself? )

Answer 2

Since the x variable is on the right side, first switch sides.
Then notice that -4 is being added to x.
What do you add to -4 to get zero? That's what you must add to both sides to get rid of the -4.

Answer 3

X=12

Answer 4

^ x - 4 = 8
x = 8 + 4
x = 12
