-3x+8= -4
Thank you!!! Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! -3x+8= -4
..
you need to bring all the constants on right side and terms on the left sides.
whatever operation you do on one side the same has to be done on the other side.
8 goes to the right side
add -8 to both sides of the equation
-3x+8 -8 = -4 -8
+8 -8 cancel off & (-4 -8 add up)
-3x = -12
-3 has to be separated from x
divide by -3 on both sides
-3x/-3= -12/-3
x= 4
cheers!
