Answer:
Simplifying
3x + 4 = 9x + -8
Reorder the terms:
4 + 3x = 9x + -8
Reorder the terms:
4 + 3x = -8 + 9x
Solving
4 + 3x = -8 + 9x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-9x' to each side of the equation.
4 + 3x + -9x = -8 + 9x + -9x
Combine like terms: 3x + -9x = -6x
4 + -6x = -8 + 9x + -9x
Combine like terms: 9x + -9x = 0
4 + -6x = -8 + 0
4 + -6x = -8
Add '-4' to each side of the equation.
4 + -4 + -6x = -8 + -4
Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0
0 + -6x = -8 + -4
-6x = -8 + -4
Combine like terms: -8 + -4 = -12
-6x = -12
Divide each side by '-6'.
x = 2
Simplifying
x = 2
