Solve 4x - 2 - 7x - 2

Evaluate

4 x - 2 - 7 x - 2

To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0

4 x - 2 - 7 x - 2 = 0

Subtract the terms

More Steps

- 3 x - 2 - 2 = 0

Subtract the numbers

- 3 x - 4 = 0

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

- 3 x = 0 + 4

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

- 3 x = 4

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

3 x = - 4

Divide both sides

\frac{3 x}{3} = \frac{- 4}{3}

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{- 4}{3}

Solution

x = - \frac{4}{3}

Alternative Form

x = - 1. \dot{3}
