x+3=4x
Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x.
x+3-4x=0
Subtract 4x from both sides.
-3x+3=0
Combine x and -4x to get -3x.
-3x=-3
Subtract 3 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=\frac{-3}{-3}
Divide both sides by -3.
x=1
Divide -3 by -3 to get 1.
