How to solve y=4x-(-5)

1. Factor the equation (x + 2)(x + 3) = 0. 2. Set each factor equal to zero: x + 2 = 0 and x + 3 = 0. 3. Solve for x: x = -2 and x = -3.

Question

$$y=4x-(-5)$$

Solve for x

$x=\frac{y-5}{4}$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

The opposite of $-5$ is $5$.

$$y=4x+5$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$4x+5=y$$

Subtract $5$ from both sides.

$$4x=y-5$$

Divide both sides by $4$.

$$\frac{4x}{4}=\frac{y-5}{4}$$

Dividing by $4$ undoes the multiplication by $4$.

$$x=\frac{y-5}{4}$$
