Question

$$(7x-3)-(3x+4)=6$$

Solve for x

$x = \frac{13}{4} = 3\frac{1}{4} = 3.25$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

To find the opposite of $3x+4$, find the opposite of each term.

$$7x-3-3x-4=6$$

Combine $7x$ and $-3x$ to get $4x$.

$$4x-3-4=6$$

Subtract $4$ from $-3$ to get $-7$.

$$4x-7=6$$

Add $7$ to both sides.

$$4x=6+7$$

Add $6$ and $7$ to get $13$.

$$4x=13$$

Divide both sides by $4$.

$$x=\frac{13}{4}$$
