Question

Help pls :(


Solve for x.
-4 + 3x = 20

Answer 1

x = 8

Explanation:

Given

- 4 + 3x = 20 ( add 4 to both sides )

3x = 24 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 8

Answer 2

`\huge\text{Hey there!}`

`\large\textsf{-4 + 3x = 20}\\\rightarrow\large\textsf{3x - 4 = 20}\\\\\large\text{ADD 4 to BOTH SIDES}\\\large\textsf{3x - 4 + 4 = 20 + 4}\\\large\text{CANCEL out: \textsf{-4 + 4} because that gives you \textsf 0}\\\large\text{KEEP: \textsf{20 + 4}} \text{ because it gives you the \textsf{x-value}}}\\\\\large\textsf{20 + 4 = \bf 24}\\\\\large\text{DIVIDE 3 to BOTH SIDES}\\\\\mathsf{(3x)/(3)= (24)/(3)}\\\large\text{CANCEL out: }\mathsf{(3)/(3)}\large\text{ because that gives you \textsf 1}`

`\large\text{KEEP: }\mathsf{(24)/(3)}\large\text{ because it helps gives you the result of the \textsf{x-value}}\\\\\mathsf{x = (24)/(3)}\\\\\large\textsf{x= 24}/ \large\textsf{3}}\\\large\textsf{x = \bf 8}\\\\\boxed{\boxed{\huge\text{Therefore, your answer is: \textsf{x = 8}}}}\huge\checkmark`
