ok remeber the x is still negative right?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
err it is?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-15-x=-6
so add 15 to both sides
your left with -x=9
x cant be negative so divide negative on both sides
OpenStudy (anonymous):
wha divide x on both sides? what on both sides?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no the negative( or in simple terms put the negative sign on the other side of the = sign) for example
-x=78
x=-78

:/ how did you do that
OpenStudy (anonymous):
15−x=−6
OpenStudy (anonymous):
15−x=−6 15+−x=−6 −x+15−15=−6−15 −x=−21
OpenStudy (anonymous):
15−x=−6
15+−x=−6
−x+15−15=−6−15
−x=−21

thank you :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so get x by its self since its 4x this is multiplication so we have to divide 4x/4=-36/4
OpenStudy (anonymous):
its -9
OpenStudy (anonymous):
TATS THE ANSWER :D
OpenStudy (anonymous):
4x-9=27

27+9=?
OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
yea but add by both sides?
pooja195 (pooja195):
Now we are left with 4x=36
from here to isolate x we would divide since they are equal
