Question
Solve the equation
x=103
Alternative Form
x=0.3
Evaluate
4=7−6(5x−1)
Swap the sides of the equation
7−6(5x−1)=4
Move the expression to the left side
7−6(5x−1)−4=0
Subtract the numbers
3−6(5x−1)=0
Calculate
More Steps

Evaluate
3−6(5x−1)
Expand the expression
More Steps

Calculate
−6(5x−1)
Apply the distributive property
−6×5x−(−6×1)
Multiply the numbers
−30x−(−6×1)
Any expression multiplied by 1 remains the same
−30x−(−6)
If a negative sign or a subtraction symbol appears outside parentheses, remove the parentheses and change the sign of every term within the parentheses
−30x+6
3−30x+6
Add the numbers
9−30x
9−30x=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−30x=0−9
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−30x=−9
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
30x=9
Divide both sides
3030x=309
Divide the numbers
x=309
Solution
x=103
