Solve -3=-4/3(x-4)

Evaluate

- 3 = - \frac{4}{3} (x - 4)

Simplify

More Steps

- 3 = - \frac{4}{3} x + \frac{16}{3}

Swap the sides of the equation

- \frac{4}{3} x + \frac{16}{3} = - 3

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

- \frac{4}{3} x = - 3 - \frac{16}{3}

Subtract the numbers

More Steps

- \frac{4}{3} x = - \frac{25}{3}

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

\frac{4}{3} x = \frac{25}{3}

Multiply by the reciprocal

\frac{4}{3} x \times \frac{3}{4} = \frac{25}{3} \times \frac{3}{4}

Multiply

x = \frac{25}{3} \times \frac{3}{4}

Solution

More Steps

x = \frac{25}{4}
