Answer:
Explanation:
Simplifying
3 + -4x = 23
Solving
3 + -4x = 23
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-3' to each side of the equation.
3 + -3 + -4x = 23 + -3
Combine like terms: 3 + -3 = 0
0 + -4x = 23 + -3
-4x = 23 + -3
Combine like terms: 23 + -3 = 20
-4x = 20
Divide each side by '-4'.
x = -5
Simplifying
x = -5
