-6x + 4 = -124

First bring 4 to the right side by subtracting 4 to both sides (what you do on one side you must do to the other). Since 4 is being added on the left side, subtraction (the opposite of addition) will cancel it out (make it zero) from the left side and bring it over to the right side.

-6x + 4 - 4 = -124 - 4

-6x + 0 = -128

-6x = -128

Now to completely isolate x you must divide -6 to both sides. Since -6 is being multiplied by x, division (the opposite of multiplication) will cancel -6 out (in this case it will make -6 one) from the left side and bring it over to the right side.

-6x/-6 = -128/-6

1x = [tex]\frac{128}{ 6}[/tex]

^^^The fraction can be simplified further

x = [tex]\frac{64}{3}[/tex]

x ≈ 21.33

Hope this helped!

For this case we must solve the following linear equation:

[tex]-6x + 4= -124[/tex]

Subtracting 4 from both sides of the equation we have:

[tex]-6x + 4-4 = -124-4\\-6x = -128[/tex]

Dividing between -6 on both sides of the equation:

[tex]\frac {-6x} {- 6} = \frac{-128} {- 6}[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{64}{3}[/tex]

The equation cannot be simplified, its decimal form is given by:

[tex]x = 21.3[/tex]

Answer:

[tex]x = 21.3[/tex]
