Hello Again!

What you want to do first is add 4 to -4 and to -13. After doing so, you'll equation will look a little something like this...

-3x=9

You'll then want to divide both -3 and 9 by -3. After doing so, the equation will look like this...

x=-3

Your answer is x=-3

I hope this helps

Hey there! :)

-3x - 4 = -13

We're essentially just trying to isolate x. So, we need to get x onto its own side of the equal sign! We can do this by adding 4 to both sides.

-3x = -13 + 4

Simplify.

-3x = -9

Divide both sides by -3.

x = 3

~Hope I helped!~
