You begin solving the equation 4−5=59 4 - 5 x = 59 by subtracting 4 4 from both sides. Which is the best choice for Step 2 2 ?

4 – 5x = 59, x = -11

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equations is :

4 – 5x = 59

Subtracting 4 both sides,

4 – 5x -4 = 59-4

-5x = 55

Dividing both sides by -5.

x = -11

So, the answer of the given equation is -11.

a) what number, when added to negative four, is equal to negative five?

step-by-step explanation:

walter needs to make at least 5 more cookies but no more than 40. 5 ≤ x ≤ 40

step-by-step explanation:

20 ≤ x + 15 ≤ 55

subtract 15 from all parts

20-15 ≤ x + 15-15 ≤ 55-15

5 ≤ x ≤ 40

this means how many more cookies he has to make

walter needs to make at least 5 more cookies, but no more than 40 cookies; 5 ≤ x ≤ 40
