Solve the equation below for x and check your solution.

4x+3=x

x = - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

4x+3=x

we subtract x to both sides of the equation:

4x - x + 3 = x-x

we have:

3x + 3 = 0

we subtract 3 to both sides of the equation:

3x + 3 - 3 = - 3

3x = - 3

we divide by 3 both sides of the equation

3x/3 = - 3/3

x = - 1

we test the result in the original equation:

4x+3=x

4 * (-1) + 3 = - 1

-4 + 3 = - 1

-1 = - 1

so finally x = - 1
