-15-X=-6 You have to isolate X from the other numbers. So first, add X to both sides. You will be left with -15=-6+X Now bring 6 to the other side by canceling it out. You will be left with -15-6=X Combine like terms. -9=X or X=-9 Let me know if you need more help!

OpenStudy (blake57roger):

wait wouldnt it be 4

OpenStudy (explicitvogue):

Again, to find X, you have to isolate and simplify! This time you would divide both sides by 4 since it's 4x. So tell me what you get

OpenStudy (explicitvogue):

The answer wouldn't be 4, but you would divide both sides by 4.

OpenStudy (blake57roger):

1 -9

OpenStudy (explicitvogue):

4 times what will give you -36?

OpenStudy (explicitvogue):

yes, -9! Good job!
