Math Problem Statement

-3x=4x+2

Solution

To solve the equation 3x=4x+2-3x = 4x + 2, follow these steps:

  1. Move all terms involving xx to one side: 3x4x=2-3x - 4x = 2 This simplifies to: 7x=2-7x = 2

  2. Solve for xx by dividing both sides by 7-7: x=27x = \frac{2}{-7} Simplifying gives: x=27x = -\frac{2}{7}

So, the solution is x=27x = -\frac{2}{7}.
