Solve for x in the following equation: 1x+4=2

Question

. Write your answer in reduced fraction form, if applicable.(

Answer 1

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

1. Subtract 4 from both sides of the equation: \[ 1x + 4 - 4 = 2 - 4 \] This simplifies to: \[ 1x = -2 \]

2. Since \( 1x \) is just \( x \), we have: \[ x = -2 \]

The solution is: \[ \boxed{-2} \]
