How to solve 4(x-3)=3(x+4)

1. Factor the equation (x + 2)(x + 3) = 0. 2. Set each factor equal to zero: x + 2 = 0 and x + 3 = 0. 3. Solve for x: x = -2 and x = -3.

Question

$$4(x-3)=3(x+4)$$

Solve for x

$x=24$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply $4$ by $x-3$.

$$4x-12=3\left(x+4\right)$$

Use the distributive property to multiply $3$ by $x+4$.

$$4x-12=3x+12$$

Subtract $3x$ from both sides.

$$4x-12-3x=12$$

Combine $4x$ and $-3x$ to get $x$.

$$x-12=12$$

Add $12$ to both sides.

$$x=12+12$$

Add $12$ and $12$ to get $24$.

$$x=24$$
