Question

$$7-x=4+4x$$

Solve for x

$x=\frac{3}{5}=0.6$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract $4x$ from both sides.

$$7-x-4x=4$$

Combine $-x$ and $-4x$ to get $-5x$.

$$7-5x=4$$

Subtract $7$ from both sides.

$$-5x=4-7$$

Subtract $7$ from $4$ to get $-3$.

$$-5x=-3$$

Divide both sides by $-5$.

$$x=\frac{-3}{-5}$$

Fraction $\frac{-3}{-5}$ can be simplified to $\frac{3}{5}$ by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.

$$x=\frac{3}{5}$$
