x can take any real value

Step-by-step explanation


4x+x+4=8x-3x+4

Step 1

add similar terms in both sides


\begin{gathered} 4x+x+4=8x-3x+4 \\ 5x+4=5x+4 \end{gathered}

Step 2

subtract 5x+4 in both sides


\begin{gathered} 5x+4=5x+4 \\ 5x+4-(5x+4)=5x+4-(5x+4) \\ 0=0 \end{gathered}

0=00 means that as an equation, its solution is that x can take any real value .

I hope this helps you
