Solve for x: 4x−3=3x−9.(1 point) Responses x=−6 x equals negative 6 x=7 x equals 7 x=−2 x equals negative 2 x=5

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( 4x - 3 = 3x - 9 \):

1. First, isolate \( x \) by subtracting \( 3x \) from both sides:

\[ 4x - 3x - 3 = -9 \]

This simplifies to:

\[ x - 3 = -9 \]

2. Next, add 3 to both sides to solve for \( x \):

\[ x = -9 + 3 \] \[ x = -6 \]

The solution is:

\[ \boxed{-6} \]

So the answer is \( x = -6 \) (or "x equals negative 6").
