Question

solve −4(x + 1) − 3 = −3(x − 4).

Answer 1

−4(x+1)−3=−3(x−4)
(−4)(x)+(−4)(1)+−3=(−3)(x)+(−3)(−4)(Distribute)
−4x+−4+−3=−3x+12
(−4x)+(−4+−3)=−3x+12(Combine Like Terms)
−4x+−7=−3x+12
−4x−7=−3x+12
Add 3x to both sides.
−4x−7+3x=−3x+12+3x
−x−7=12
Add 7 to both sides.
−x−7+7=12+7
−x=19
Divide both dies by -1 to get answer

Answer 2

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
−4(x+1)−3=−3(x−4)
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
−4(x+1)−3=−3(x−4)
Simplify:
−4x−7=−3x+12
Step 2: Add 3x to both sides.
−4x−7+3x=−3x+12+3x
−x−7=12
Step 3: Add 7 to both sides.
−x−7+7=12+7
−x=19
Step 4: Divide both sides by -1.
−x−1=19−1
x=−19
Answer:
x=−19
