4x+1=16x+1
Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by 4x+0.25.
4x+1-16x=1
Subtract 16x from both sides.
-12x+1=1
Combine 4x and -16x to get -12x.
-12x=1-1
Subtract 1 from both sides.
-12x=0
Subtract 1 from 1 to get 0.
x=0
Product of two numbers is equal to 0 if at least one of them is 0. Since -12 is not equal to 0, x must be equal to 0.
