What is the solution to this equation?

2x + 3 = x − 4

x = −7

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 3 = x − 4

Subtract 3 from both sides of the equation

2x = x −7

Subtract x from both sides of the equation

x = −7

X=7

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1  

Having all the  

x

terms on one side of =

Subtract  

2 x

from both sides

2 x − 2 x + 3 = 3 x − 2 x − 4

0 + 3 = x − 4

Swap round

x − 4 = 3

Step 2  

Have just  

x

on the left of =

Add  

4

to both sides

x − 4 + 4 = 3 + 4

x = 7

75

step-by-step explanation:

you do x-29=46 (the number of cantaloupes sold)

in order to find x, you have to find what minus 29 equals 46, meaning you'd have to add 29 to 46.

29+46=75

if you replace x with 75, the equation looks like:

75-29=46

x=75
