Math Problem Statement

4x - 3 = 3x + 7. What is the solution to the equation?

Solution

The equation given in the image is:

4x3=3x+74x - 3 = 3x + 7

Let's solve this step by step:

  1. Subtract 3x3x from both sides to get the terms involving xx on one side: 4x3x3=74x - 3x - 3 = 7 Simplifying: x3=7x - 3 = 7

  2. Add 3 to both sides to isolate xx: x=7+3x = 7 + 3 Simplifying: x=10x = 10

So, the solution is: x=10x = 10

The correct answer is option A: x=10x = 10.
