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 :

                     3*(-4*x-1)-2*x+4-(43)=0 

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Step  2  :

Pulling out like terms :

 2.1     Pull out like factors :

   -4x - 1  =   -1 • (4x + 1) 

Equation at the end of step  2  :

  ((-3 • (4x + 1) -  2x) +  4) -  43  = 0 

Step  3  :

Step  4  :

Pulling out like terms :

 4.1     Pull out like factors :

   -14x - 42  =   -14 • (x + 3) 

Equation at the end of step  4  :

  -14 • (x + 3)  = 0 

Step  5  :

Equations which are never true :

 5.1      Solve :    -14   =  0

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

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

 5.2      Solve  :    x+3 = 0 

 Subtract  3  from both sides of the equation : 
                      x = -3
