Question

I've tried 4 times but each time my awenser doesn't add up %2B%204%28x%20%2B%206%29" id="TexFormula1" title=" - 3 = - 7 + 4(x + 6)" alt=" - 3 = - 7 + 4(x + 6)" align="absmiddle" class="latex-formula">

Answer 1

-7+4x+24=-3
4x=-3+7-24
4x=-20
x=-5

Answer 2

$\bf -3=-7+4(x+6)\implies \stackrel{\textit{adding 7 to both sides}}{4=4(x+6)}\implies \stackrel{\textit{dividing both sides by 4}}{\cfrac{4}{4}=\cfrac{4(x+6)}{4}} \\\\\\ 1=x+6\implies \stackrel{\textit{subtracting 6 from both sides}}{-5=x}$
