Hi I was wondering if someone could help me with this.

Question

4x+8=4

I thought that x= 3
however my dad thought x-1

Thanks for the help!

Answer 1

your dad is right. x = -1

Answer 2

4x+8=4
-8 -8
4x=-4

-4/4 = -1

Answer 3

Thanks for all of the help everyone!!!

Answer 4

4x+8=4

4x + 8 - 8 = 4 - 8
4x = -4
x = -1

Let's prove it.

(4 * -1) + 8 = 4
-4 + 8 = 4

Your dad wins! :-)
