Question

How do you simplify `24x-22=-4+25x`?

Answer 1

`x=-18`

Explanation:

`24x-22=-4+25x`

Let us starts by subtracting `24x` from both sides of the equation to get rid of `x`'s term on the right side of the equation:
`cancel(24x)-22cancel(-24x)=-4+25x-24x`
`-22=-4+x`

Then we add 4 to both sides to isolate `x` on the left term:
`-22+4=cancel(-4)+xcancel(+4)`
`rarr x=-18`
