Solve 4(3 - 4x) - 3 = 5

Evaluate

4 (3 - 4 x) - 3 = 5

Move the expression to the left side

4 (3 - 4 x) - 3 - 5 = 0

Subtract the numbers

4 (3 - 4 x) - 8 = 0

Calculate

More Steps

4 - 16 x = 0

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

- 16 x = 0 - 4

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

- 16 x = - 4

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

16 x = 4

Divide both sides

\frac{16 x}{16} = \frac{4}{16}

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{4}{16}

Solution

x = \frac{1}{4}

Alternative Form

x = 0.25
