Question

how do you solve this? it said to be sure to use the correct place value, and I kinda slept in class​

Answer 1

I assume you want me to solve the equation, 2x + 3 = x - 4

In order to solve this you need to you have to move the terms and then collect the like terms to calculate.

2x + 3 = x - 4

2x -x = -4 - 3

X = -7

Hope this helped!
