Answer:

x=14

Step-by-step explanation:

If two values are inversely proportional, their product must be maintained. That way, if one value goes up, the other goes down by the same extent.

Therefore, if (x-4) and (y+3) vary inversely, their product will be the same for all values of x-4 and y+3.

Let x=8 and y=2 as given in the problem. Substitute values:

(8-4)(2+3)=(4)(5)=20

Hence, the maintained product is 20.

Thus, we have the following equation:

(x-4)(y+3)=20

Substitute y=-1 to find the value of x when y=-1:

(x-4)(-1+3)=20,\\(x-4)(2)=20,\\x-4=10,\\x=10+4=\boxed{14}
