Answer:

0 = x

Explanation:

  1. ½x - 4 = 4x - 4 [Use the Distributive Property of Multiplication.]
  2. -3½x - 4 = -4 [Move -4x to the left side of the equivalence symbol.]
  3. -3½x = 0 [Move 4 to the right side of the equivalence symbol.]
  4. 0 = x [Divide by -3½.]

I am joyous to assist you anytime.
