Question

1x-4=3x please help me

Answer 1

Answer

$1x - 4 \: = 3x$

Simplifying

3 + -1x = 4 + -3x

Solving

3 + -1x = 4 + -3x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '3x' to each side of the equation.

3 + -1x + 3x = 4 + -3x + 3x

Combine like terms: -1x + 3x = 2x

3 + 2x = 4 + -3x + 3x

Combine like terms: -3x + 3x = 0

3 + 2x = 4 + 0

3 + 2x = 4

Add '-3' to each side of the equation.

3 + -3 + 2x = 4 + -3

Combine like terms: 3 + -3 = 0

0 + 2x = 4 + -3

2x = 4 + -3

Combine like terms: 4 + -3 = 1

2x = 1

Divide each side by '2'.

x = 0.5

Simplifying

x = 0.5
