To solve for x in the equation 4x - 3 = 3x - 9, we can start by moving all terms containing x to one side of the equation and the constant terms to the other side.
4x - 3 = 3x - 9
Next, we can subtract 3x from both sides of the equation to isolate the x terms on the left side.
4x - 3x - 3 = 3x - 3x - 9
This simplifies to:
x - 3 = -9
To get x by itself, we can add 3 to both sides of the equation.
x - 3 + 3 = -9 + 3
This simplifies to:
x = -6
Therefore, the solution to the equation 4x - 3 = 3x - 9 is x = -6.
solve for x: 4x-3=3x-9
