Question

Solve. x + 4 – 7x = 22

Answer 1

x + 4 – 7x = 22

Combine like terms

-6x + 4 = 22

Subtract 4 from both sides

-6x = 18

Divide both sides by -6

x = -3

Answer 2

move +4 to the right side of the equal sign

x-7x=22-4

combine like terms

-6x=18

divide -6 both sides and x will be.....

-3
