To solve the equation \(2x + 3 = 3x + 4\), we will first simplify and solve for \(x\).

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

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

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

Based on the responses provided, the correct answer is: −1.
