Answer:

x = ∞

Explanation:

Given the expression 4x-1 = 4x+7, we are to simplify the expression and find the value of x. To do that the following steps must be carried out.

Step 1: collect the like terms by regrouping the expression

4x-1 = 4x+7

4x - 4x = 7+1

0x = 8

Step 2: Dividing both sides by the number next to x

0x/0 = 8/0

x = ∞

Any constant dividing zero will always return infinity as a value.
