First subtract 4 from both sides to isolate the 3x.
That leaves us with 3x = -9.
Since x is being multiplied by 3, to get x by itself,
we need to divide both sides of the equation by 3.
So our final answer is x = -3.
Answer:
x = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
3x + 4= -5
Subtract 4 from both sides.
3x = -9
Divide both sides by 3.
