The first step in solving this equation for x is to isolate the variable x on one side of the equation. To do so, we can subtract 2 from both sides of the equation.
Starting with the equation: -3 = x/4 + 2
Subtracting 2 from both sides: -3 - 2 = x/4 + 2 - 2
Simplifying: -5 = x/4
Now, the equation is: -5 = x/4, and x is isolated on one side.
Identity the first step in solving this equation for x: -3= x/4 + 2
