Let's find out

  • 4x=8x-1

Take x to left

  • 4x-8x=-1
  • -4x=-1
  • 4x=1
  • x=1/4

Hey there!


4x = 8x - 1

ADD 8x to BOTH SIDES

4x - 8x = 8x - 1 - 8x

SIMPLIFY IT!

DIVIDE -4 to BOTH SIDES

-4x/-4 = -1/-4

SIMPLIFY IT!
x = 1/4


Therefore, your answer SHOULD be:

x = 1/4


Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!
