Question

What is the value of x in the equation below? −3x + 14 = 4x − 7 *

Answer 1

-The value of
`x`:

`x = 3`

Explanation:

-Solve for the value of
`x`:

`-3x + 14 = 4x - 7`

-Subtract both sides by
`4x` and combine
`-3x` and
`-4x` together:

`-3x + 14 - 4x = 4x - 4x - 7`

`-7x + 14 = -7`

-Subtract both sides by
`14`:

`-7x + 14 - 14 = -7 -14`

`-7x = -21`

-Divide both sides by
`7`:

`(-7x)/(-7) = (-21)/(-7)`

`x = 3`

So, the final answer is
`x = 3`.

Answer 2

x=3

Explanation:

-3x+14=4x-7

-3x going to right and -7 is going to left and change sign

14+7=4x+3x

21=7x

21/7=3 , x=3
