Answer:
[tex]x=-8.5[/tex] or [tex]x=-\frac{17}{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]-4x+8=42[/tex]
Subtract 8 from both sides.
[tex]-4x=42-8[/tex]
Subtract 8 from 42 to get 34.
[tex]-4x=34[/tex]
Divide both sides by −4
[tex]x=\frac{34}{-4}[/tex]
Reduce the fraction
[tex]\frac{34}{-4}=-\frac{17}{2}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{34}{-4}=-8.5[/tex]
