To solve the equation \(2x + 3 = 3x + 4\), let's rearrange it step by step.

  1. Start with the equation: \[ 2x + 3 = 3x + 4 \]

  2. Subtract \(2x\) from both sides: \[ 3 = x + 4 \]

  3. Subtract \(4\) from both sides: \[ 3 - 4 = x \] \[ -1 = x \] or \[ x = -1 \]

Thus, the solution to the equation \(2x + 3 = 3x + 4\) is \(x = -1\).

So, the correct response is:

  • −1
