To solve the equation \( 4x - 9 = -49 \), follow these steps:
1. Add 9 to both sides of the equation:
\[
4x - 9 + 9 = -49 + 9
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
4x = -40
\]
2. Next, divide both sides by 4 to isolate \( x \):
\[
x = \frac{-40}{4}
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
x = -10
\]
Thus, the solution is \( \boxed{-10} \).
1. Add 9 to both sides of the equation:
\[
4x - 9 + 9 = -49 + 9
\]
