solve the equation for 4x+1=3
Simplifying
4x + -1 = 3(x + 1)
Reorder the terms:
-1 + 4x = 3(x + 1)
Reorder the terms:
-1 + 4x = 3(1 + x)
-1 + 4x = (1 3 + x 3)
-1 + 4x = (3 + 3x)
Solving
-1 + 4x = 3 + 3x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-3x' to each side of the equation.
-1 + 4x + -3x = 3 + 3x + -3x
Combine like terms: 4x + -3x = 1x
-1 + 1x = 3 + 3x + -3x
Combine like terms: 3x + -3x = 0
-1 + 1x = 3 + 0
-1 + 1x = 3
Add '1' to each side of the equation.
-1 + 1 + 1x = 3 + 1
Combine like terms: -1 + 1 = 0
0 + 1x = 3 + 1
1x = 3 + 1
Combine like terms: 3 + 1 = 4
1x = 4
Divide each side by '1'.
x = 4
Simplifying
x = 4
4x + 1 = 3
4x = 3 - 1
4x = 2
x = 2/4
x = 1/2
hope this helps and have a great day :)
