4x+4=56\left(7x+4\right)
Variable x cannot be equal to -\frac{4}{7} since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 7x+4.
4x+4=392x+224
Use the distributive property to multiply 56 by 7x+4.
4x+4-392x=224
Subtract 392x from both sides.
-388x+4=224
Combine 4x and -392x to get -388x.
-388x=224-4
Subtract 4 from both sides.
-388x=220
Subtract 4 from 224 to get 220.
x=\frac{220}{-388}
Divide both sides by -388.
x=-\frac{55}{97}
Reduce the fraction \frac{220}{-388} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 4.
