How to solve 5 + 7 - 3x = 4
I need an answer today, by the way

Answer 1

combine all the constants
-3x = 4 - 5 - 7
simplify. can you do that?

Answer 2

simplify the terms at the right first

Answer 3

5 + 7 - 3x = 4

Add:

12 - 3x = 4

Subtract 12 to both sides:

-3x = -8

Can you divide -8 / -3? @GreenNerdGirl

Answer 4

Yeah, that's your answer..do you have choices though?

Answer 5

It could just be a fraction as the answer..

Answer 6

Well at first I thought it was 8/3, but I knew something was wrong with it, but I was just checking to make sure

Answer 7

8/3 is correct.. -8/-3 is the same thing as 8/3.
