Solve for x 4+x=-3+2x

$4 + x = - 3 + 2 x$

Step 1

Move all terms containing $x$ to the left side of the equation.

Subtract $2 x$ from both sides of the equation.

$4 + x - 2 x = - 3$

Subtract $2 x$ from $x$ .

$4 - x = - 3$

Step 2

Move all terms not containing $x$ to the right side of the equation.

Subtract $4$ from both sides of the equation.

$- x = - 3 - 4$

Subtract $4$ from $- 3$ .

$- x = - 7$

Step 3

Divide each term in $- x = - 7$ by $- 1$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $- x = - 7$ by $- 1$ .

$\frac{- x}{- 1} = \frac{- 7}{- 1}$

Simplify the left side.

Dividing two negative values results in a positive value.

$\frac{x}{1} = \frac{- 7}{- 1}$

Divide $x$ by $1$ .

$x = \frac{- 7}{- 1}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $- 7$ by $- 1$ .

$x = 7$
