To solve the equation \( 4 - 3x = -7x - 4 \), follow these steps:
Add \(7x\) to both sides to begin isolating \(x\): \[ 4 - 3x + 7x = -4 \] This simplifies to: \[ 4 + 4x = -4 \]
Subtract 4 from both sides: \[ 4x = -4 - 4 \] Which simplifies to: \[ 4x = -8 \]
Divide by 4 to solve for \(x\): \[ x = \frac{-8}{4} = -2 \]
So, the solution is \( x = -2 \).
