Question

I got the equation correct, but I'm having trouble working it out to find the answer. Please help.

Answer 1

Given:

The equation is,

`x-3=4x+7`

To solve for x:

Separate the variables and constants as follows,

`\begin{gathered} x-4x=3+7 \\ -3x=10 \\ x=(10)/(-3) \\ x=-(10)/(3) \end{gathered}`

Thus, the answer is

`\begin{gathered} x=-(10)/(3) \\ (or) \\ x=-3.33 \end{gathered}`
