a-x=3x-3a
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by x-a.
a-x+3a=3x
Add 3a to both sides.
4a-x=3x
Combine a and 3a to get 4a.
4a=3x+x
Add x to both sides.
4a=4x
Combine 3x and x to get 4x.
a=x
Cancel out 4 on both sides.
a-x=3x-3a
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by x-a.
a-x-3x=-3a
Subtract 3x from both sides.
a-4x=-3a
Combine -x and -3x to get -4x.
-4x=-3a-a
Subtract a from both sides.
-4x=-4a
Combine -3a and -a to get -4a.
x=a
Cancel out -4 on both sides.
