Question 224688


{{{-3x-4=-5x-22}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{-3x=-5x-22+4}}} Add {{{4}}} to both sides.



{{{-3x+5x=-22+4}}} Add {{{5x}}} to both sides.



{{{2x=-22+4}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{2x=-18}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(-18)/(2)}}} Divide both sides by {{{2}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=-9}}} Reduce.
