Answer:
(a) 3x + 4 = 2x + 1
3x - 2x = 1 - 4
x = -3
Explanation:
To solve for 'X', you must move all 'x' to the left-hand side, as seen through the working out. To balance it, you move all the lone numbers without (constants) to the right. Remember: when you move values across the 'equals' sign, the sign of the value you are moving becomes switched. For example, if you're moving 3x + 1 = 0 and you wish to move 1 to the other side, it becomes 3x = 0 ( - 1).
