1 answer

To determine which equation has the solution set \({-3}\), we need to solve each equation for \(x\) and see which one yields \(-3\).

  1. For \(4x + 8 = -4\): \[ 4x + 8 = -4 \ 4x = -4 - 8 \ 4x = -12 \ x = -3 \]

  2. For \(4x + 8 = 4\): \[ 4x + 8 = 4 \ 4x = 4 - 8 \ 4x = -4 \ x = -1 \]

  3. For \(4x - 8 = 4\): \[ 4x - 8 = 4 \ 4x = 4 + 8 \ 4x = 12 \ x = 3 \]

  4. For \(4x - 8 = -4\): \[ 4x - 8 = -4 \ 4x = -4 + 8 \ 4x = 4 \ x = 1 \]

From the calculations, the only equation that results in the solution \(-3\) is \(4x + 8 = -4\).

Thus, the equation that has the solution set \({-3}\) is:

4x + 8 = -4.
