Answer:
a. -1
Step-by-step explanation:
Simply the equation: 3x+x+8=4
1st step: 4x+8=4
2nd step: 4x=4-8
3rd step: x=
4th step: x= -1
We can write multiple equations that have the same solution.
Two of these equations could be for example:
Equation 1:
10x = 12
Equation 2:
2x-1 = 1.4
Note: when clearing x in both equations we have:
x = 1.2
Answer:
10x = 12
2x-1 = 1.4
Simplify what you do not have anything written down or anything to look at.
