-1= 3 + 4x

what is the answer and how do you solve this problem?

first we want to get the like terms on the same side. so lets subtract 3 from both sides you get

-4=4x

then since we want x by itself we divide by 4 on both sides making the 4 cross out and we get

-1=x

what is the formula like step by step? example: subract exibt a from b and so on...

substract 3 from the right side and left

eg- -1=3+4x
-3 -3

then divide by 4 on the right and left side.

eg- -4/4=4x/4

x=-1

no not tht, like the formula for all the problems like tht! like when u multipy like 10 by 2 u just make the 0 come down so that its 20?

To solve the equation -1 = 3 + 4x, we need to isolate the variable x.

First, let's simplify the equation by moving the constant term 3 to the other side:

-1 - 3 = 4x

This simplifies to:

-4 = 4x

Next, divide both sides of the equation by 4 to isolate x:

-4/4 = 4x/4

This gives us:

-1 = x

So the solution to the equation -1 = 3 + 4x is x = -1.

To solve this problem, we performed the following steps:
1. Move the constant term 3 to the other side of the equation.
2. Simplify the equation.
3. Divide both sides of the equation by 4 to isolate x.
4. Simplify the equation further to obtain the solution x = -1.
