Question

Drag the correct steps into order to solve the equation −4x+12=−4 for x.

Answer 1

The next step in this problem would be to subtract 12 form both sides. This would result in:

-4x = - 16

Then you would divide each side by -4.

x = 4

This would be your answer.

Answer 2

The correct steps for solving the equation $-4x+12=-4$ are

• Subtract $12$ from both sides and simplify.
• Divide both sides by $-4$, and simplify

To solve the equation below

$-4x+12=-4$

for $x$, first rearrange the terms so that all $x$ terms are on the LHS, and all numbers are on the RHS. We do this by subtracting $12$ from both sides of the equality. Then we simplify.

$-4x+12-12=-4-12\\-4x=-16$

Next, we need to remove the co-efficient of $x$ ($-4$) by dividing both sides with $-4$.  Then we simplify.

$\dfrac{-4x}{-4}=\dfrac{-16}{-4}\\\\x=4$
