Solution for 3x+4=2x-1 equation:

Simplifying

3x + 4 = 2x + -1

Reorder the terms:

4 + 3x = 2x + -1

Reorder the terms:

4 + 3x = -1 + 2x

Solving

4 + 3x = -1 + 2x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

4 + 3x + -2x = -1 + 2x + -2x

Combine like terms: 3x + -2x = 1x

4 + 1x = -1 + 2x + -2x

Combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

4 + 1x = -1 + 0

4 + 1x = -1

Add '-4' to each side of the equation.

4 + -4 + 1x = -1 + -4

Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0

0 + 1x = -1 + -4

1x = -1 + -4

Combine like terms: -1 + -4 = -5

1x = -5


Divide each side by '1'.

Your Answer is x = -5

Hope it helps!
