Question

$$8x- \frac{ 20 }{ 7 } =4x$$

Solve for x

$x=\frac{5}{7}\approx 0.714285714$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract $4x$ from both sides.

$$8x-\frac{20}{7}-4x=0$$

Combine $8x$ and $-4x$ to get $4x$.

$$4x-\frac{20}{7}=0$$

Add $\frac{20}{7}$ to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.

$$4x=\frac{20}{7}$$

Divide both sides by $4$.

$$x=\frac{\frac{20}{7}}{4}$$

Express $\frac{\frac{20}{7}}{4}$ as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{20}{7\times 4}$$

Multiply $7$ and $4$ to get $28$.

$$x=\frac{20}{28}$$

Reduce the fraction $\frac{20}{28}$ to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out $4$.

$$x=\frac{5}{7}$$
