Question 414509
{{{4(6x-4)-1(7x-8)=1-1(3x+4)}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{24x-16-7x+8=1-3x-4}}} Distribute.



{{{17x-8=1-3x-4}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{17x-8=-3x-3}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{17x=-3x-3+8}}} Add {{{8}}} to both sides.



{{{17x+3x=-3+8}}} Add {{{3x}}} to both sides.



{{{20x=-3+8}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{20x=5}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(5)/(20)}}} Divide both sides by {{{20}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=1/4}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{x=1/4}}}
