Add the numbers
−864x4
−15<−864x4
Move the expression to the left side
−15−(−864x4)<0
If a negative sign or a subtraction symbol appears outside parentheses, remove the parentheses and change the sign of every term within the parentheses
−15+864x4<0
Rewrite the expression
−15+864x4=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
864x4=0+15
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
864x4=15
Divide both sides
864864x4=86415
Divide the numbers
x4=86415
Cancel out the common factor 3
x4=2885
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
