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 :

                4*(3*x-1)-(11*x-3*(x-4))=0 

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  (4 • (3x - 1)) -  (11x -  3 • (x - 4))  = 0 

Step  2  :

Equation at the end of step  2  :

  4 • (3x - 1) -  (8x + 12)  = 0 

Step  3  :

Step  4  :

Pulling out like terms :

 4.1     Pull out like factors :

   4x - 16  =   4 • (x - 4) 

Equation at the end of step  4  :

  4 • (x - 4)  = 0 

Step  5  :

Equations which are never true :

 5.1      Solve :    4   =  0

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

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

 5.2      Solve  :    x-4 = 0 

 Add  4  to both sides of the equation : 
                      x = 4
