Take it slow, do what jdoe said. Expand the problem out, combine like terms, solve for x.

anonymous · Answer

i know but i have a time limit....so i was just wondering if -4 was correct, i graphed it and the line was on -4

ipwnbunnies · Answer

We don't know if x=-4 right now b/c we don't see what you're looking at. It'll be easier to solve the problem straight up.

ipwnbunnies · Answer

Oh, you're taking a test. :o  I HAVE BROUGHT SHAME TO OPENSTUDY.

anonymous · Answer

its not a test, i'm am studying for a test but i have to go soon

ipwnbunnies · Answer

Oh, ok. I'll just say that yes, x  =-4. We can plug in -4 whereever x is into the equation and check.
