Solve -2(x+3)+4=51x-4

$$- 2 ( x + 3 ) + 4 = 51 x - 4$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{2}{53}\approx 0.037735849$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply -2 by x+3.

$$-2x-6+4=51x-4$$

Add -6 and 4 to get -2.

$$-2x-2=51x-4$$

Subtract 51x from both sides.

$$-2x-2-51x=-4$$

Combine -2x and -51x to get -53x.

$$-53x-2=-4$$

Add 2 to both sides.

$$-53x=-4+2$$

Add -4 and 2 to get -2.

$$-53x=-2$$

Divide both sides by -53.

$$x=\frac{-2}{-53}$$

Fraction \frac{-2}{-53} can be simplified to \frac{2}{53} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.

$$x=\frac{2}{53}$$
