−4x+16
43−4x+16
Add the numbers
59−4x
59−4x=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−4x=0−59
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−4x=−59
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
4x=59
Divide both sides
44x=459
Solution
x=459
Alternative Form
x=14.75
