Question

Solve for x. 4(x-b)=x

Answer 1

4x - 4b = x
3x = 4b
x = 4/3b

Answer 2

Thank you! I am just trying to see if I was right. I am grading my daughters paper

Answer 3

4x-4b=x
4x-4x-4b=x-4x Subtract both sides by 4x to get -4b alone
-4b=-3x Divide both sides by -3 to get "x" alone
4/3b = x Since two negative numbers cancelled each other out when multiply/divide the answer is positive.
