Question

$$9x-4-3(x-4)=4(x-1)$$

Solve for x

$x=-6$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply $-3$ by $x-4$.

$$9x-4-3x+12=4\left(x-1\right)$$

Combine $9x$ and $-3x$ to get $6x$.

$$6x-4+12=4\left(x-1\right)$$

Add $-4$ and $12$ to get $8$.

$$6x+8=4\left(x-1\right)$$

Use the distributive property to multiply $4$ by $x-1$.

$$6x+8=4x-4$$

Subtract $4x$ from both sides.

$$6x+8-4x=-4$$

Combine $6x$ and $-4x$ to get $2x$.

$$2x+8=-4$$

Subtract $8$ from both sides.

$$2x=-4-8$$

Subtract $8$ from $-4$ to get $-12$.

$$2x=-12$$

Divide both sides by $2$.

$$x=\frac{-12}{2}$$

Divide $-12$ by $2$ to get $-6$.

$$x=-6$$
