Question

Solve for x:
X
- + 3 = -4
2

Answer 1

Would you please rewrite it?
It says:
X
- other stuff
2

is that x + 3 = -4? or -2x + 3 = -4?

Answer 2

it is x divided by 2 plus 3 equals negative 4

Answer 3

Oh ok:
x/2 + 3 = -4 // Subtract 3 from both sides
x/2 = -7 // Multiply both sides by 2
x = -14

And check:

-14/2 + 3 = -7 + 3 = -4 v/ It works!

Answer 4

I have to show my work. I know the answer is -14, just not sure how to get there.
