Solve 3x/42 = 4x-1

Evaluate

3 \times \frac{x}{42} = 4 x - 1

Multiply the terms

More Steps

\frac{x}{14} = 4 x - 1

Multiply both sides of the equation by LCD

\frac{x}{14} \times 14 = (4 x - 1) \times 14

Simplify the equation

x = (4 x - 1) \times 14

Simplify the equation

More Steps

x = 56 x - 14

Move the variable to the left side

x - 56 x = - 14

Subtract the terms

More Steps

- 55 x = - 14

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

55 x = 14

Divide both sides

\frac{55 x}{55} = \frac{14}{55}

Solution

x = \frac{14}{55}
