Question

What is the solution to this equation? 2x + 3 = x − 4

Answer 1

Answer:

-7

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+3=x-4

Let's start by subtracting 3 from both sides

2x=x-7

Now, subtract x from both sides

x=-7

Let's plug it in to make sure!

2(-7) +3= (-7)-4

-11=-11

Answer 2

Answer:

x= -7

Step-by-step explanation:

You subtract both sides by x meaning the x on the right side will turn to zero and then you subtract both sides by 3
