Math Problem Statement

-4x + 3 = x + 4

Solution

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

  1. Move the variable terms to one side:
    Subtract xx from both sides of the equation to get all the xx terms on one side: 4xx+3=4-4x - x + 3 = 4 Simplify: 5x+3=4-5x + 3 = 4

  2. Move the constant terms to the other side:
    Subtract 3 from both sides to isolate the term with xx: 5x=43-5x = 4 - 3 Simplify: 5x=1-5x = 1

  3. Solve for xx:
    Divide both sides by 5-5: x=15x = \frac{1}{-5} Simplify: x=15x = -\frac{1}{5}

So, the solution is x=15x = -\frac{1}{5}.
