4 0

Answer:

x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x+1) = -2(x-1) - 4

3x + 3 = -2x + 2 - 4

3x + 3 = -2x - 2

Add the -2x to both sides

5x + 3 = -2

Subtract the 3 to both sides

5x = -5

Divide both sides by 5

x = -1

The entire race is 1 full race.
One full race is 1.
He ran 3/8 of 1, so he ran 3/8.
He needs to run the rest of the race.
The rest is unknown, so we call it x.
When you add 3/8 to the unknown, you get the full race.
The equation is

x + 3/8 = 1

Change 1 to a denominator of 8.

x + 3/8 = 8/8

Subtract 3/8 from both sides.

x = 5/8

Answer: He still needs to run 5/8 of the race.
