Solve 4=-3(x-3)

$$4 = - 3 ( x - 3 )$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{5}{3} = 1\frac{2}{3} \approx 1.666666667$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Divide both sides by -3.

$$-\frac{4}{3}=x-3$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$x-3=-\frac{4}{3}$$

Add 3 to both sides.

$$x=-\frac{4}{3}+3$$

Convert 3 to fraction \frac{9}{3}.

$$x=-\frac{4}{3}+\frac{9}{3}$$

Since -\frac{4}{3} and \frac{9}{3} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$x=\frac{-4+9}{3}$$

Add -4 and 9 to get 5.

$$x=\frac{5}{3}$$
