Solve 3x--115+13x+1=-2x-4

$$3x--115+13x+1 = -2x-4$$

Solve for x

$$x = -\frac{20}{3} = -6\frac{2}{3} \approx -6.666666667$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

The opposite of -115 is 115.

$$3x+115+13x+1=-2x-4$$

Combine 3x and 13x to get 16x.

$$16x+115+1=-2x-4$$

Add 115 and 1 to get 116.

$$16x+116=-2x-4$$

Add 2x to both sides.

$$16x+116+2x=-4$$

Combine 16x and 2x to get 18x.

$$18x+116=-4$$

Subtract 116 from both sides.

$$18x=-4-116$$

Subtract 116 from -4 to get -120.

$$18x=-120$$

Divide both sides by 18.

$$x=\frac{-120}{18}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{-120}{18} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 6.

$$x=-\frac{20}{3}$$
