Question

How do you solve `-46+ x = - 32`?

Answer 1

`x= 14`

Explanation:

We must isolate the `x` and we can do that by adding `46` to both sides.
`cancel(-46+46)+x=-32+46`

`x= 14`

Side Note: If you need to check your work you can take the value you found for `x` and plug it in into the equation like so:

`-46+14=-32`

`-32=-32`: This is a true statement so we know our answer is correct.
