Solution - Linear equations with one unknown

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                     -1/4*(16*x-8)-(18)=0 

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

            1
 Simplify   —
            4

Equation at the end of step  1  :

         1                  
  (0 -  (— • (16x - 8))) -  18  = 0 
         4                  

Step  2  :

Step  3  :

Pulling out like terms :

 3.1     Pull out like factors :

   16x - 8  =   8 • (2x - 1) 

Equation at the end of step  3  :

  (0 -  2 • (2x - 1)) -  18  = 0 

Step  4  :

Step  5  :

Pulling out like terms :

 5.1     Pull out like factors :

   -4x - 16  =   -4 • (x + 4) 

Equation at the end of step  5  :

  -4 • (x + 4)  = 0 

Step  6  :

Equations which are never true :

 6.1      Solve :    -4   =  0

This equation has no solution.
A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

 6.2      Solve  :    x+4 = 0 

 Subtract  4  from both sides of the equation : 
                      x = -4
