solve for x :

4x +3 = 3x + 8

1 answer

To solve for x, we can start by simplifying the equation:

4x + 3 = 3x + 8

Subtract 3x from both sides:

4x - 3x + 3 = 3x - 3x + 8

Simplify:

x + 3 = 8

Now, subtract 3 from both sides to solve for x:

x = 8-3
x = 5

Therefore, the solution to the equation 4x + 3 = 3x + 8 is x = 5.
