To find the values of \( x \) that make the equation \( 3x - 4 = x - 5x \) true, you can start by simplifying the equation:

Combine like terms on the right side:

\[ 3x - 4 = -4x \]

Add \( 4x \) to both sides to isolate \( x \) on one side of the equation:

\[ 3x + 4x - 4 = 0 \]

Combine the \( x \) terms:

\[ 7x - 4 = 0 \]

Now, add 4 to both sides:

\[ 7x = 4 \]

Finally, divide by 7 to solve for \( x \):

\[ x = \frac{4}{7} \]

So, the solution to the equation is \( x = \frac{4}{7} \).
