Solve x04+x=140

$$x04+x = 140$$

Solve for x

$$x=140-4x_{0}$$

Solution Steps

Subtract x_{0}\times 4 from both sides.

$$x=140-x_{0}\times 4$$

Multiply -1 and 4 to get -4.

$$x=140-4x_{0}$$

Solve for x_0

$$x_{0}=-\frac{x}{4}+35$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract x from both sides.

$$x_{0}\times 4=140-x$$

The equation is in standard form.

$$4x_{0}=140-x$$

Divide both sides by 4.

$$\frac{4x_{0}}{4}=\frac{140-x}{4}$$

Dividing by 4 undoes the multiplication by 4.

$$x_{0}=\frac{140-x}{4}$$

Divide 140-x by 4.

$$x_{0}=-\frac{x}{4}+35$$
