Question

How do you solve `(x+4)/3=-8`?

Answer 1

`x=-28`

Explanation:

First, we can rewrite it as `(x+4)-:3`
Then, we can shift the '`-:3`' to the other side of the equation, causing it to change from a divide to a multiply
`x+4=-8xx3`
`x+4=-24`
After that, we shift the `+4` to the other side as well, changing it from a positive number to a negative number
`x=-24-4`
`x=-28`
