Solve for x. -14 - x = 14

Sagot :

Answer:

x= -28

Step-by-step explanation:

1. First you have to add 14 to both sides to get the x by itself. That's always the first thing you have to do. Get x by itself.

2. After that, you should have -x= 28. You can't leave it like that because it is still not simplified. It's basically saying 28 is the opposite of x. What's the opposite of positive? Negative.

3. Therefore, your final answer should be -28

Answer:

x = -28

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey! First, lets establish our equation :)

-14 -x = 14

Now, we are going to get our x alone on a single side, to do this, we are going to add 14 to both sides to be able to cut out -14 on the left side!

-14 -x = 14

+14      +14

     -x = 28

The last thing we have to do is divide both sides by -1 to get x by itself without it being negative!

-x = 28

÷-1  ÷-1

x = -28

So, x, is equal to -28 (negative 28!) :)

Hope this Helps! :)
