x=−713

Explanation:

You can start the equation off by trying to move all the numbers with variables to the left. To achieve this, you can subtract 3x from the right and subtract it from the left. If you did it right, your equation would look like this:

13x+4=−3

Then, to make the variable x alone on the left side, you can subtract 4 from both sides to get

13x=−7

Then you would divide both sides by 13 to get x to become one number which is

x=−713
