GIven the numerical equation:
-3x - 4 + 4x = 16
Solve for x.
Solution:
In order to solve for x, we simply need to combine similar terms, then transpose -4 to the other side of the equation, hence it must be taken to note that in transposing a number, the sign changes.
-3x - 4 + 4x = 16
x - 4 = 16
x = 16 + 4
x = 20
Final answer:
x = 20
