Question

Verify the equation below with each of the values listed for x to find a solution.

2 = 3x + 4

Answer 1

x=-0.66666666666666666666666666666667

x= (2-4)/3

Answer 2

The answer is
`x=(-2)/(3)`

Explanation:

In order to determine the value of the "x" variable, we need to know how solve an equation.

Firstly, we have to free the "x" variable, in any side of the equation.

So,

`2=3x+4\\2-4=3x\\-2=3x\\x=(-2)/(3)`

Also, if you want to verify which of a list of possible values is the correct, you have to replace each one in the "x" and then you have to check if the equality is fulfilled.

In this case, we replace the value
`x=(-2)/(3)` :

`2=3*((-2)/(3))+4\\ 2=-2+4\\2=2`

It is fulfilled.

Finally the answer is
`x=(-2)/(3)`
