To solve the equation \(-4 + x^4 = 3\) by adding 4 to both sides, you follow these steps:
-
Start with the original equation: \[ -4 + x^4 = 3 \]
-
Add 4 to both sides: \[ -4 + x^4 + 4 = 3 + 4 \]
-
Simplify both sides: \[ x^4 = 7 \]
Thus, after adding 4 to both sides of the equation, you get: \[ x^4 = 7 \]
