Solve 4-x=2(3x-1)

$$4 - x = 2 ( 3 x - 1 )$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{6}{7}\approx 0.857142857$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 3x-1.

$$4-x=6x-2$$

Subtract 6x from both sides.

$$4-x-6x=-2$$

Combine -x and -6x to get -7x.

$$4-7x=-2$$

Subtract 4 from both sides.

$$-7x=-2-4$$

Subtract 4 from -2 to get -6.

$$-7x=-6$$

Divide both sides by -7.

$$x=\frac{-6}{-7}$$

Fraction \frac{-6}{-7} can be simplified to \frac{6}{7} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.

$$x=\frac{6}{7}$$
