Question

Step by step
solve 3x + 4 = 5x + 28

Answer 1

x= -12

Explanation:

Answer 2

x = -12

Explanation:

Step 1: Subtract 5x from both sides.

3x + 4 - 5x = 5x + 28 - 5x

-2x + 4 = 28

Step 2: Subtract 4 from both sides.

-2x + 4 - 4 = 28 - 4

-2x = 24

Divide both sides by -2.

-2x/-2 = 24/-2

x = -12
