Answer:

x=0.5

Explanation:

Simplifying

4x + -3(2x + -1) + -4x = 0

Reorder the terms:

4x + -3(-1 + 2x) + -4x = 0

4x + (-1 * -3 + 2x * -3) + -4x = 0

4x + (3 + -6x) + -4x = 0

Reorder the terms:

3 + 4x + -6x + -4x = 0

Combine like terms: 4x + -6x = -2x

3 + -2x + -4x = 0

Combine like terms: -2x + -4x = -6x

3 + -6x = 0

Solving

3 + -6x = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Add '-3' to each side of the equation.

3 + -3 + -6x = 0 + -3

Combine like terms: 3 + -3 = 0

0 + -6x = 0 + -3

-6x = 0 + -3

Combine like terms: 0 + -3 = -3

-6x = -3

Divide each side by '-6'.

x = 0.5

Simplifying

x = 0.5
