Quizplus · Accepted Answer

First, distribute the 3 and the 4:
3x + 18 = 4x - 28
Then, subtract 3x from both sides:
18 = x - 28
Lastly, add 28 to both sides:
46 = x, so the solution is x = 46. Therefore, the answer is choice B. Start by distributing the 3 and 4:
3x + 18 = 4x - 28
Subtract 3x from both sides:
18 = x - 28
Add 28 to both sides:
46 = x
Therefore, the answer is B.
