Question

The given equation is either linear or equivalent to a linear equation. Solve the equation.

$-x+3=4x$

Short answer

The solution of linear equation is$x=\frac{3}{5}$

Step-by-step solution

Step 1. Solving a linear equation.

We solve a linear equation by changing it to an equivalent equation with all terms that have the variable x on one side and all constant terms on the other.

Step 2. Analyze the given expression.

Given

$-x+3=4x$

Step 3. Solve.

$\begin{array}{l}-x+3=4x\\ \Rightarrow 5x=3\\ \Rightarrow x=\frac{3}{5}\\ \end{array}$

So, the solution of given equation is $x=\frac{3}{5}$
