Question

If 3x+4=-5, what does x equal to?​

Answer 1

x = -3

Explanation:

3x + 4= -5

Subtract 4 from both sides.

3x = -9

Divide both sides by 3.

x = -3

Answer 2

First subtract 4 from both sides to isolate the 3x.

That leaves us with 3x = -9.

Since x is being multiplied by 3, to get x by itself,

we need to divide both sides of the equation by 3.

So our final answer is x = -3.
