Answer:
x = -10
Step-by-step explanation:
move all the constants (numbers without variables) to one side to get
-4x = 42 - 2
-4x = 40
multiply by -1
4x = -40
divide by 4
x = -10
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x= -10
(if you are solving for the x value):
-4x+2=42
subtract two to both sides to cancel the two from the side with -4x
-4x+2-2=42-2
-4x=40
then divide both sides by -4 to get the x by its self
-4x/-4=40/-4
so..
x= -10
