Solve 6 - 5(4x - 1) = 3

Evaluate

6 - 5 (4 x - 1) = 3

Move the expression to the left side

6 - 5 (4 x - 1) - 3 = 0

Subtract the numbers

3 - 5 (4 x - 1) = 0

Calculate

More Steps

8 - 20 x = 0

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

- 20 x = 0 - 8

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

- 20 x = - 8

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

20 x = 8

Divide both sides

\frac{20 x}{20} = \frac{8}{20}

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{8}{20}

Solution

x = \frac{2}{5}

Alternative Form

x = 0.4
