Question

Help pls :( Solve for x. -4 + 3x = 20

Answer 1

$\huge\text{Hey there!}$

$\large\textsf{-4 + 3x = 20}\\\rightarrow\large\textsf{3x - 4 = 20}\\\\\large\text{ADD 4 to BOTH SIDES}\\\large\textsf{3x - 4 + 4 = 20 + 4}\\\large\text{CANCEL out: \textsf{-4 + 4} because that gives you \textsf 0}\\\large\text{KEEP: \textsf{20 + 4}} \text{ because it gives you the \textsf{x-value}}}\\\\\large\textsf{20 + 4 = \bf 24}\\\\\large\text{DIVIDE 3 to BOTH SIDES}\\\\\mathsf{\dfrac{3x}{3}= \dfrac{24}{3}}\\\large\text{CANCEL out: }\mathsf{\dfrac{3}{3}}\large\text{ because that gives you \textsf 1}$

$\large\text{KEEP: }\mathsf{\dfrac{24}{3}}\large\text{ because it helps gives you the result of the \textsf{x-value}}\\\\\mathsf{x = \dfrac{24}{3}}\\\\\large\textsf{x= 24}\div \large\textsf{3}}\\\large\textsf{x = \bf 8}\\\\\boxed{\boxed{\huge\text{Therefore, your answer is: \textsf{x = 8}}}}\huge\checkmark$

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

- 4 + 3x = 20 ( add 4 to both sides )

3x = 24 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 8
