Question

$$-x+3-4x=6+4x$$

Solve for x

$x=-\frac{1}{3}\approx -0.333333333$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract $4x$ from both sides.

$$-x+3-4x-4x=6$$

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

$$-x+3-8x=6$$

Subtract $3$ from both sides.

$$-x-8x=6-3$$

Subtract $3$ from $6$ to get $3$.

$$-x-8x=3$$

Combine $-x$ and $-8x$ to get $-9x$.

$$-9x=3$$

Divide both sides by $-9$.

$$x=\frac{3}{-9}$$

Reduce the fraction $\frac{3}{-9}$ to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out $3$.

$$x=-\frac{1}{3}$$
