D
Divide -3 from both sides
(b)
What is the solution to the give equation?
Given: -3 + x = 4
x = "write the answer (number only) in the answer box"

Answer 1

(a) A

(b) x = 7

Explanation:

(a) Given : -3 + 2x = 4

Step 1: Isolate the x to one side. To do so, we get rid of -3 by adding 3 to both sides. (-3 + 3 =0)

2x = 4 + 3

(b) -3 + x = 4

x = 4 + 3

= 7
