Question

Help plssssss it’s an emergency

Answer 1

All I know is that the -3 should be there without the 1/3 because that makes no sense to me. And...

Explanation:

3x+8=-4

Subtract 8 from both sides.

3x+8−8=−4−8

3x=−12

Step 2: Divide both sides by 3.

3x=−12

3 3

x=−4

Answer 2

Answer: Tyler's work is incorrect because when subtracting 8 from both sides of the equation, he didn't subtract it from -4. If he subtracted 8 from -4, it would've been 3x=-12.

The correct answer is x = -4

Explanation:

you get x = -4 by subtracting 8 from each side of the equation, resulting in 3x = -12

then you divide both sides by 3, leaving you with x = -4
