Answer:
x = −4
Step-by-step explanation:
Add x to both sides of the equation. x + 4 + x = − 4 Add x and x . 2 x + 4 = −4
Subtract 4 from both sides of the equation. 2 x = −4 − 4 Subtract 4 from - 4. 2x = −8
Divide each term in 2x = −8 by 2. 2x/2 = −8/2
Cancel the common factor. 2x/ 2 = −8/2 Divide x by 1. x = −8/2
Divide −8 by 2. x = −4
