Solve 5-4(x-1)=4x-3(4*-1)-4

$$5-4(x-1)=4x-3(4 \times -1)-4$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{1}{8}=0.125$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

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

$$5-4x+4=4x-3\times 4\left(-1\right)-4$$

Add 5 and 4 to get 9.

$$9-4x=4x-3\times 4\left(-1\right)-4$$

Multiply 3 and 4 to get 12.

$$9-4x=4x-12\left(-1\right)-4$$

Multiply 12 and -1 to get -12.

$$9-4x=4x-\left(-12\right)-4$$

The opposite of -12 is 12.

$$9-4x=4x+12-4$$

Subtract 4 from 12 to get 8.

$$9-4x=4x+8$$

Subtract 4x from both sides.

$$9-4x-4x=8$$

Combine -4x and -4x to get -8x.

$$9-8x=8$$

Subtract 9 from both sides.

$$-8x=8-9$$

Subtract 9 from 8 to get -1.

$$-8x=-1$$

Divide both sides by -8.

$$x=\frac{-1}{-8}$$

Fraction \frac{-1}{-8} can be simplified to \frac{1}{8} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.

$$x=\frac{1}{8}$$
