Answer
x=45
Work Step by Step
Simplifying
x + 3 = 4(57 + -1x)
Reorder the terms:
3 + x = 4(57 + -1x)
3 + x = (57 * 4 + -1x * 4)
3 + x = (228 + -4x)
Solving
3 + x = 228 + -4x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '4x' to each side of the equation.
3 + x + 4x = 228 + -4x + 4x
Combine like terms: x + 4x = 5x
3 + 5x = 228 + -4x + 4x
Combine like terms: -4x + 4x = 0
3 + 5x = 228 + 0
3 + 5x = 228
Add '-3' to each side of the equation.
3 + -3 + 5x = 228 + -3
Combine like terms: 3 + -3 = 0
0 + 5x = 228 + -3
5x = 228 + -3
Combine like terms: 228 + -3 = 225
5x = 225
Divide each side by '5'.
x = 45
Simplifying
x = 45
