3x+30
3x+30=4(x−20)
Calculate
More Steps

Evaluate
4(x−20)
Apply the distributive property
4x−4×20
Multiply the numbers
4x−80
3x+30=4x−80

Evaluate
3x−4x
Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients
(3−4)x
Subtract the numbers
−x
−x+30+80
Add the numbers
−x+110
−x+110=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−x=0−110
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−x=−110
