Enter Equation or Inequality
  

Solve the following equation

16+4x-17=x+20

Solve for x

16 + 4x - 17 = x + 20

Group the constants on the left

16 - 17 = -1

Form modified equation

4x - 1 = x + 20

Group variables

Group our variables 4x and x
subtract x from both sides

4x - 1 - x = x + 20 - x

Cancel x on the right side:

3x - 1 = 20

Group constants

Group our constants -1 and 20.
add 1 to both sides

3x - 1 + 1 = 20 + 1

Cancel 1 on the left side:

3x = 21

Divide each side of the equation by 3

3x
