Question
Solve for x in the following equation: 1x+4=2
. Write your answer in reduced fraction form, if applicable.(1 point)
x=

Answer 1

To solve the equation \(1x + 4 = 2\), we will isolate \(x\).

1. Subtract 4 from both sides:
\[
1x = 2 - 4
\]
\[
1x = -2
\]

2. Now, divide by 1:
\[
x = -2
\]

So the solution is:
\[
x = -2
\]
