Given that:


\bold{-4+3x=20}

To find:

  • The value of x.

Solution:

We'll have to make x the subject.

First, write the equation as it is.


\bold{-4+3x=20}

We'll have to cancel -4, To cancel -4 we'll have to +4 to 20 because the opposite of Subtraction is addition.


\bold{3x=24}

Now, we'll have to cancel 3, To cancel 3 we'll have to divide 24 by 3, because the opposite of multiplication is division.


\bold{(3x)/(3)=(24)/(3)}

Workout


\large\boxed{\bold{x=8}}

To check your answer is correct:


\bold{-4+(3×8)=20}

Therefore, the value of x is 8.
