Solve - 4 (x + 1) - 3 = - 3 (x - 4)

-19

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify both sides of the equation.

-4 (x+1) - 3=-3 (x-4)

Distribute

(-4) (x) + (-4) (1) + -3 = (-3) (x) + (-3) (-4)

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

Combine like terms

(-4x) + (-4+-3) = -3x+12

-4x+-7=-3x+12

-4x-7=-3x+12

Add 3x to both sides.

-4x-7+3x=-3x+12+3x

-x-7=12

Add 7 to both sides.

-x-7+7=12+7

-x=19

Divide both sides by - 1.

-x / -1 = 19 / -1

Simplify

x=-19
