Question
Simplify the expression
4x−1
Evaluate
3(x×1)−(1−x)
Remove the parentheses
3x×1−(1−x)
Multiply the terms
3x−(1−x)
If a negative sign or a subtraction symbol appears outside parentheses, remove the parentheses and change the sign of every term within the parentheses
3x−1+x
Solution
More Steps

Evaluate
3x+x
Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients
(3+1)x
Add the numbers
4x
4x−1

Find the roots
x=41
Alternative Form
x=0.25
Evaluate
3(x×1)−(1−x)
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
3(x×1)−(1−x)=0
Any expression multiplied by 1 remains the same
3x−(1−x)=0

4x
4x−1
4x−1=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
4x=0+1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
4x=1
Divide both sides
44x=41
Solution
x=41
