Question

I need help with this algebra question. 4 (x - b) =x

Answer 1

4 (x - b) = x            Use the DIstributive Property [(4(x) - 4(b)]
4 x - 4b = x            Add 4b to both sides
         4x = 4b + x   Subtract x from both sides
         3x = 4b         Divide both sides by 3
           x = $\frac{4b}{3}$
