Question

`(4x)/(3 ) = x - (1)/(3)`
Solve the following equation ​

Answer 1

x=-1

First, you need to factor out the 3 from the 4x/3,

4x=3(x-1/3)

Next, distribute the 3 to the (x-1/3), this will leave you with,

4x= 3x-1

Then, you need to subtract the 3x from the 4x, given these are like-terms…

x=-1

If you want to double-check this, you can plug x=-1 into the following expression and you will see that the solution is true…

I hope this helps
