You begin solving the equation 4−5x=59 by subtracting 4 from both sides. Which is the best choice for Step 2?
This Would Be Divide Both Sides By 5. You Have To Isolate The Variable To One Side Of The Equation So It Is By Itself.
Answer:
Divide both sides by -5.
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtracting 4 from each side of the equation gives us
4-5x-4 = 59-4
-5x = 55
The last number we have to cancel is -5, by division:
-5x/-5 = 55/-5
x = -11
