None of the above answers are correct in the form it is written. The correct answer would be -7/2.

In order to solve this, you must use the order of operations for solving.

2x - 3 = 4x + 4 -----> Subtract 2x from both sides

-3 = 2x + 4 ------> Subtract 4 from both sides.

-7 = 2x ----> Divide both sides by 2

-7/2 = x

If this is not an option, you may have copied the problem incorrectly or did not properly list the answers.
