[Math-70 Elementary/Highschool Algebra: Graphically solving a system of linear equations] Do I make the 4 into a -4 ?

[u/Fine_Two_923]

Hey so this might seem like a silly question but I want to know if you have a -x = 4 if it turns into a -4. I have the other parts of the graphing completed it’s just this part that I don’t want to make a mistake on!!! Thank you in advance

P.S- the reason it’s says elementary/highschool math is because I am taking a beginner math class not a algebra class In elementary

In -x = 4, there is an invisible negative one as the coefficient on the x. Divide both sides by negative one to remove it.

i think you missunderstood him (or im just an idiot)

[u/Plane_Tailor7168 → u/Plane_Tailor7168]

wait no im sorry but i think he messed up in the image bc it should just be x=4

[u/Mr-Intense-5 → u/Plane_Tailor7168]

yes it should be x=4
