Question
Solve the equation
x1=−1,x2≈1.204095
Evaluate
7−2x4=−(x−4)
Calculate
7−2x4=−x+4
Move the expression to the left side
7−2x4−(−x+4)=0
Subtract the terms
More Steps

Evaluate
7−2x4−(−x+4)
If a negative sign or a subtraction symbol appears outside parentheses, remove the parentheses and change the sign of every term within the parentheses
7−2x4+x−4
Subtract the numbers
3−2x4+x
3−2x4+x=0
Factor the expression
(−1−x)(2x3−2x2+2x−3)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
−1−x=02x3−2x2+2x−3=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
−1−x=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−x=0+1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−x=1
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
