The steps below show the incomplete solution to find the value of x for the equation
7x + 8 − 3x = −6 + 10:

Step 1: 7x + 8 − 3x = −6 + 10
Step 2: 7x + 8 − 3x = 4
Step 3: 4x + 8 = 4

Which of these is most likely the next step?

4x = 12
4x = 4
4x = −4
4x = −12

anonymous · Answer

4x = 4 ?

anonymous · Answer

What do you think?

anonymous · Answer

why +4!

anonymous · Answer

im not really sure i kinda guessed on this question

anonymous · Answer

you have $$4x + 8 = 4$$
and you need to make x by itself
so what will you do for both sides?

anonymous · Answer

add right

anonymous · Answer

you +8 next to 4x
and you need to make it just 4x so you will add !!

anonymous · Answer

ok yea i didnt do that part sorry still new to this >.>

anonymous · Answer

It is logic
you have +8 so subtract 8 from each side to get 4x only on one side

anonymous · Answer

ok so my answer would have been incorrect lol

anonymous · Answer

resolve it

anonymous · Answer

wait ok so that means that it would be -4 ?

anonymous · Answer

right
