Can somebody help with this problem?

x=-5 or -5

Step-by-step explanation:

x - 4 = 2x + 1

Subtract x from both sides canceling out the x on the left, getting...

-4 = x + 1

Then subtract the 1 from both sides canceling out the 1 on the right, getting...

-5 = x

Subtracting x from 2x gets you 1x which you just write as x because there is only one x. Doing the equation from the other side will still get you the same answer and I will show you.

x - 4 = 2x + 1

-x - 4 = 1

-x = 5

x = -5

Hope this helps!

hello :

by applying the distributive property :

6 × 4.3 = 6 × ( 4 + 0.3 )

            =   (6 ×   4) + (6 ×   0.3)

            = 24 + 1.8

6 × 4.3 = 25.8
