Question

4x+3=-5 helppp please

Answer 1

Answer: x = -2

Step-by-step explanation: To solve for x, in the equation you see here, our goal is to get x by itself.

Our first step will be to isolate the term containing x which in this case is 4x. To isolate 4x, we have to get rid of the +3 by subtracting 3 from both sides of the equation. On the left, +3 and -3 cancel out and we're left with 4x. On the right, -5 - 3 simplifies to -8.

Now we have the equation 4x = -8.

To get x by itself, we divide both sides of the equation by 4. On the left, the 4's cancel and on the right, -8 divided by 3 is -2 so x = -2

Answer 2

• Answer:

x = -2

• Explanation:

4x + 3 = −5

Step 1: Subtract 3 from both sides

4x + 3 − 3 = −5 − 3

4x = −8

Step 2: Divide both sides by 4

4x / 4 = -8 / 4

x = -2
