Solution :

The given equation,

  • - 4 (x - 1) = 2 (x - 4)


: \: \implies \: \sf{- 4 * (x - 1) = 2 (x - 4) }


: \: \implies \: \sf{- 4x + 4 \: = \: 2 (x - 4) }


: \: \implies \: \sf{- 4x + 4 \: = \: 2 * (x - 4) }


: \: \implies \: \sf{- 4x + 4 \: = \: 2x - 8 }


: \: \implies \: \sf{- 4x - 2x + 4\: = \: - 8 }


: \: \implies \: \sf{- 4x - 2x\: = \: - 8 - 4}


: \: \implies \: \sf{- 4x - 2x\: = \: -12}


: \: \implies \: \sf{ - 6x\: = \: -12}


: \: \implies \: \sf{ \cancel- \: 6x\: = \: \cancel- \: 12}


: \: \implies \: \sf{6x\: = \: \: 12}


: \: \implies \: \sf{x\: = \: (12)/(6) }


: \: \implies \: \sf{x\: = \: \cancel(12)/(6) }


: \: \implies \: \red{\bf{x\: = \:2 }}


  • \underline{\bf{Henceforth, \: value \: of \: x \: is \: 2}}
