Solve 4(x+1)-7x=5

Evaluate

4 (x + 1) - 7 x = 5

Move the expression to the left side

4 (x + 1) - 7 x - 5 = 0

Calculate

More Steps

- 3 x - 1 = 0

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

- 3 x = 0 + 1

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

- 3 x = 1

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

3 x = - 1

Divide both sides

\frac{3 x}{3} = \frac{- 1}{3}

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{- 1}{3}

Solution

x = - \frac{1}{3}

Alternative Form

x = - 0. \dot{3}
