Answer 1

To solve the equation \( 4x - 3 = 3x - 9 \), follow these steps:

1. Subtract \( 3x \) from both sides: \[ 4x - 3x - 3 = -9 \] This simplifies to: \[ x - 3 = -9 \]

2. Next, add 3 to both sides: \[ x = -9 + 3 \] Simplifying this gives: \[ x = -6 \]

Thus, the solution to the equation is \( x = -6 \).

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