4-3x+3=4x
Then i group the x
3x-4x=

Now that’s where I got stuck

Answer:

1/7

Explanation:

Take your equation: 4-(3x+3)=4x

Then, use the distributive property to carry out the negative sign, so you get 4-3x-3=4x

Add 3x to both sides to get: 4-3=4x+3x

Add like terms together to get: 1=7x

Flip the sides to get: 7x=1

Divide by 7 on both sides to get 7x/7=1/7

Simplify to get: x=1/7

Answer:

4-(3x+3)=4x

4-3x-3=4x

4-3=4x+3x

1=7x

x=1/7

or

4-(3x+3)=4x

4-3x-3=4x

-3x-4x=-4+3

-7x=-1

x=-1/-7

-/-=+

so -1/-7 it equal to 1/7

you dont want negative x

x=1/7
