Hello,
Need some help with understanding the above equation. I've learned we are supposed to inverse, or do the opposite to solve the above equation. However, when I apply this method to the above equation, I don't get a correct result. I know I'm missing something important. My math book doesn't have an example for this type of question.
My understanding is this;
14 - x = 42
x = 42 - 14 ?
x= 28
Clearly x does not equal 28. I know from checking the answers that x is actually (-28). What are the steps to solve this one?
Thanks for the help!
