x=24
↓Steps Explained:↓
Solve for x
x + 72 = 4x
Group variables
Group our variables x and 4x
subtract 4x from both sides
x + 72 - 4x = 4x - 4x
Cancel 4x on the right side:
-3x + 72 = 0
Group constants
Group our constants 72 and 0.
subtract 72 from both sides
-3x + 72 - 72 = 0 - 72
Cancel 72 on the left side:
-3x = -72
Divide each side of the equation by -3
| -3x | |
| -3 |
| = |
| -72 |
| -3 |
x = 24
