Variables on both sides

How to solve each equation?

-5x + 4 = - 2x + 16

X=-4

Step-by-step explanation:

-5x+4=-2x+16 add the - 2 to - 5

-3x+4=16 subtract 4 from 16

-3x=12 divide

x=-4

x = - 4 is your answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

What you need to do is get x by itself.

-5x + 4 = - 2x + 16 You will add 2x to both sides.

-3x + 4 = 16 You will subtract 4 on both sides.

-3x = 12 You will divide - 3 on both sides.

x = - 4 is your answer.
