Question

4-3x=8x+7

PLEASE HELP I GIVE THANKS!

Answer 1

Subtract four from either side:
-3x = 8x +3
Subtract 8x from either side
-11x = 3
Divide both side by negative eleven
x = -11/3
That's your answer! Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Since 8x contains the variable to solve for, move it to the left-hand side of the equation by subtracting 8x from both sides.
4−3x−8x=7

Add −3x and −8x to get −11x.
4−11x=7

Move 4 to the right hand side of the equation by subtracting 4 from both sides.
−11x=−4+7

Add −4 and 7 to get 3.
−11x=3

Divide each term in the equation by −11.


x=−3/11
