Answer:
x = -14.75
Step-by-step explanation:
-4(5+x)=39 (Distribute)
-20 - 4x = 39 (Add 20 on both sides)
-4x = 39 + 20
-4x = 59 (Divide by -4)
x = -14.75
Answer:
First think of what you are trying to solve.
What is X?
Reverse the steps in solving:
[tex]39 / -4 = -9.75[/tex]
Now after doing that, subtract it by 5:
[tex]-9.75 - 5 = -14.75[/tex]
Now after doing that, to check your work:
[tex]-14.75 + 5 = -9.75 * -4 = 39[/tex]
So the answer for X is -14.75
There you go I hoped I helped :]
