Question

Plz explain 23-4x=27
I know the answer is -4 just learning this , this week. Thanks

Answer 1

23 - 4x = 27

You want to isolate x, and what that basically means you want to have it alone on one side,

Subtract 23 from both sides, and divide both sides by -4

Answer 2

Can you only ask one math question At a time?

Answer 3

Sort off, it's one per thread, a question or doubt about this problem is fine

Answer 4

Ok so 27-23 and 23. -23. ? 27-23= ~4

Answer 5

27 - 23 = 4

So now you have -4x = 4

Divide both sides by -4, you get?

Answer 6

23 - 4x = 27
23 - 27 - 4x = 27 - 27
-4 - 4x = 0
-4 + 4 -4x = 0 + 4
-4x = 4
-4x / -4 = 4 / -4
Therefore, x = -1
