Answer 1

To solve the equation \(4x - 3 = 3x - 9\), we can 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:

\[ x - 3 + 3 = -9 + 3 \]

This simplifies to:

\[ x = -6 \]

So the solution is \(x = -6\).

Thus, the correct response is:

x equals negative 6.
