Solve for x

-x + 4=22

x = - 18

Step-by-step explanation:

-x + 4 = 22

- 4 - 4

-x = 18

-x : - 1 = x

18 : - 1 = 18

x = - 18

Answer: x = - 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-4' to each side of the equation.

4 + - 4 + - 1x = 22 + - 4

Combine like terms: 4 + - 4 = 0

0 + - 1x = 22 + - 4

-1x = 22 + - 4

Combine like terms: 22 + - 4 = 18

-1x = 18

Divide each side by '-1'.

x = - 18

Simplifying

x = - 18
