Question

Original Equation: 4+ (4 + x) = 3 First Step: (4 + 4) + x = 3

Answer 1

Answer:

You would not want to do that.

If the original equation is 4+(4+x)=3

then the first step would be (4+x)=3-4

simplify that to 4+x=-1

then x=-1-4

finally x=-5

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

(4+4)+x=3

8+x=3

x=3-8

x= -5
