To solve the equation \(-3x + 4 = -8\), follow these steps: 1. **Isolate the term with \(x\)**: \[ -3x + 4 = -8 \] Subtract 4 from both sides: \[ -3x = -8 - 4 \] \[ -3x = -12 \] 2. **Solve for \(x\)**: Divide both sides by -3: \[ x = \frac{-12}{-3} \] \[ x = 4 \] So, the solution is \(x = 4\).

−3x+4=−8

1 answer

To solve the equation \(-3x + 4 = -8\), follow these steps:

Isolate the term with \(x\): \[ -3x + 4 = -8 \] Subtract 4 from both sides: \[ -3x = -8 - 4 \] \[ -3x = -12 \]
Solve for \(x\): Divide both sides by -3: \[ x = \frac{-12}{-3} \] \[ x = 4 \]

So, the solution is \(x = 4\).
