Alternative Form
x=−0.6˙930˙
Evaluate
30=4x−105x−40
Subtract the terms
More Steps

Evaluate
4x−105x
Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients
(4−105)x
Subtract the numbers
−101x
30=−101x−40
Swap the sides of the equation
−101x−40=30
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−101x=30+40
Add the numbers
−101x=70
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
101x=−70
Divide both sides
101101x=101−70
Divide the numbers
x=101−70
Solution
x=−10170
Alternative Form
x=−0.6˙930˙
