Given the numerical equation:
-4x + 95 = 35
Solve for x.
Solution:
In order to solve for x, the first step is to transpose -4x and 35 on the opposite sides of the equation, hence we must take note that in transposing a number, the sign changes.
-4x + 95 = 35
95 - 35 = 4x
60 = 4x
Divide both sides by 4 in order to cancel out 4x, leaving behind x.
60/4 = 4x/4
x = 15
Final answer:
x = 15
