4 added to a number is the same as 2 subtracted from 3 times the

number. What is the number?

a. 4 + x = 3x - 2, 4 c. 4 + x = 3x - 2, 3

b. 4 + x = 2x - 3, 7 d. 4 + x = 3x - 2, 2

C. 4 + x = 3x - 2, 3

Step-by-step explanation:

4 + x = 3x - 2

Step 1: Subtract 3x from both sides; 4 - 2x = - 2

Step 2: Then subtract 4 from both sides, - 2x = - 6

Step 3: Last divide - 2 on both sides; - 2x/-2 = - 6/2

Solution: x = 3
