Answer:


\boxed {x = (47)/(10)}

Explanation:

Solve for the value of
x:


51 - 14x = 4 - 4x

-Take
4x and add it to
-14x:


51 - 14x + 4x = 4 - 4x + 4x


51 - 10x = 4

-Subtract
51 to both sides:


51 - 51 - 10x = 4 - 51


-10x = -47

-Divide both sides by
-10:


(-10x)/(-10) = (-47)/(-10)


\boxed {x = (47)/(10)}

So, the value of
x is
(47)/(10).

Answer:

x = 47/10

Explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

51 - 14x = 4 - 4x

Step 2: Solve for x

  1. Add 14x to both sides: 51 = 4 + 10x
  2. Subtract 4 on both sides: 47 = 10x
  3. Divide both sides by 10: x = 47/10
