Question

Solve: −4(x + 1) − 3 = −3(x − 4)

Answer 1

-4x-4-3 = -3x+12
Rearrange;
-3x+12=-4x-4-3
like terms together;
-3x+4x = -4-3-12
x = ????

Answer 2

-4x-4-3=-3x+12
-4x-7=-3x+12

Answer 3

didnt u get it yet?

Answer 4

1) distribute everywhere possible
2) after distributing you get -4x-4-3=-3x+12
3) now combine like terms to get -4x-7=-3x+12
4) add 3x on both sides to get -1x-7=12
5) add 7 to both sides to get -1x=19
6) divide both sides by -1 to get x=-19

Hope that helps :D
