Question

-4x-18=22,

I got x= -10, but I'm not sure if that is right. If it is could someone show me step by step and an easy way to remember how to do it.

Answer 1

Set up the equation
$- 4x - 18 = 22$
Then you want to het the x variable by itself, by elimating 18. So, you add 18 to both sides
$- 4x = 40$
Then to get x by itself you divide by -4 from both sides
$x = - 10$
You are correct.
