Answer: the number is -3
Step-by-step explanation:
Four times a number is three times the difference of that number and one
Let the number be x. Four times the number means 4×x = 4x
three times the difference of that number and one. This means
Difference of the number and one is (x-1). Three times the difference of the number and one would be 3(x-)
Four times a number = three times the difference of that number and one. Therefore,
4x = 3(x-1)
Opening the bracket
4x = 3x -3
4x-3x = -3
x =-3
Check
4×-3 =3(-3-1)
-12 = -3×4
-12 = -12
So the number is -3
Step 1: Distribute. On the right side, you should get =2x-4
Step 2: Add all common bases. You should get 4x-5 on the left side
Step 3: Add on each side. For example, add five to each side of the equation. Your equation should look like this; 4x= 2x+1
Step 4: Subtract each x number by 2x. Your equation should be; 2x=1
Step 5: Divide each side by two. Your answer should be x=1/2 or x=0.5
