Question

What is the value x in this equation

3x + 4 = -23

Answer 1

Answer: x = -9

Step-by-step explanation: I solved for x by subtracting 4 from both sides. Then I'm left with 3x = -27. So I divided -27 by 3 which leaves x = -9. Using the actual equation it would be 3 times -9 = -27. -27 + 4 = -23.
