You can put this solution on YOUR website! Since all the terms on the Left hand side contain X,we can take X common
X(4+1+1+4)=40
Adding
X(10) = 40
Dividing by 10 on both sides
X = 4
Check:
In place of X we write 4 in the original equation
4(4)+4+4+4(4)
=16+4+4+16
=40 which is what we have on the Right Side. Yay!!!
