Answer:

x = -(1/4)

Please check the original equation. None of the answer options come close. Perhaps a)> is supposed to read x = - 1/4?

Explanation:

−3x+4 = 6+5x

−3x = 2 + 5x [Subtract 4 from both sides]

−8x = 2 [Subtract 5x from both sides]

x = -(2/8) [Divide both sides by -8]

x = -(1/4) [Reduce]

None of the answers come close. Please check the original equation and./or the answer options.
