x=4x+3

Simplifying

x = 4x + 3

Reorder the terms:

x = 3 + 4x

Solving

x = 3 + 4x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-4x' to each side of the equation.

x + -4x = 3 + 4x + -4x

Combine like terms: x + -4x = -3x

-3x = 3 + 4x + -4x

Combine like terms: 4x + -4x = 0

-3x = 3 + 0

-3x = 3

Divide each side by '-3'.

x = -1

Simplifying

x = -1
