Solve 4left(6x-1right)-16=3(4x-4)-1

$$4 \left( 6x-1 \right) -16 = 3(4x-4)-1$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{7}{12}\approx 0.583333333$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by 6x-1.

$$24x-4-16=3\left(4x-4\right)-1$$

Subtract 16 from -4 to get -20.

$$24x-20=3\left(4x-4\right)-1$$

Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by 4x-4.

$$24x-20=12x-12-1$$

Subtract 1 from -12 to get -13.

$$24x-20=12x-13$$

Subtract 12x from both sides.

$$24x-20-12x=-13$$

Combine 24x and -12x to get 12x.

$$12x-20=-13$$

Add 20 to both sides.

$$12x=-13+20$$

Add -13 and 20 to get 7.

$$12x=7$$

Divide both sides by 12.

$$x=\frac{7}{12}$$
