Question

$$-60x+20=-14-218$$

Solve for x

$x = \frac{21}{5} = 4\frac{1}{5} = 4.2$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract $218$ from $-14$ to get $-232$.

$$-60x+20=-232$$

Subtract $20$ from both sides.

$$-60x=-232-20$$

Subtract $20$ from $-232$ to get $-252$.

$$-60x=-252$$

Divide both sides by $-60$.

$$x=\frac{-252}{-60}$$

Reduce the fraction $\frac{-252}{-60}$ to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out $-12$.

$$x=\frac{21}{5}$$
