the like terms in this equation are the numbers without variables

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 76 40

OpenStudy (hockeychick23):

correct

OpenStudy (ageta):

Let's solve your equation step-by-step. −4x+76=40 Step 1: Subtract 76 from both sides. −4x+76−76=40−76 −4x=−36 Step 2: Divide both sides by -4.

x=9 Answer: x=9

OpenStudy (hockeychick23):

To answer this you need to get x by itself. First subtract 76 from both sides to get -4x alone, -4x+76=40 -4x+76-76=40-76 -4x=-36 Divide both side by -4 x=9
