minus4xminus10xequalsnegative 84

Answer 1

To solve the equation \(-4x - 10x = -84\), start by combining like terms on the left side:

\[
-4x - 10x = -14x
\]

So, the equation becomes:

\[
-14x = -84
\]

Next, divide both sides by \(-14\) to isolate \(x\):

\[
x = \frac{-84}{-14}
\]

Simplifying gives:

\[
x = 6
\]

Thus, the solution is:

\[
\boxed{6}
\]
