Question

$$x+3x=4x$$

Solve for x (complex solution)

$x\in \mathrm{C}$

Solution Steps

Combine $x$ and $3x$ to get $4x$.

$$4x=4x$$

Subtract $4x$ from both sides.

$$4x-4x=0$$

Combine $4x$ and $-4x$ to get $0$.

$$0=0$$

Compare $0$ and $0$.

$$\text{true}$$

This is true for any $x$.

$$x\in \mathrm{C}$$
