Question
Solve the equation
x=427
Alternative Form
x=6.75
Evaluate
4(2x−5)−11=4x−4

Subtract the numbers
4x
4x−20−7
Subtract the numbers
4x−27
4x−27=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
4x=0+27
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
4x=27
Divide both sides
44x=427
Solution
x=427
Alternative Form
x=6.75
