Solve 5x + 4 = 4

The solution of 5x + 4 = 4 is x = 0.

The lines y = 5x + 4 and y = 4 meet at x = 0-6-4-2246-30-20-1010203040x = 0y = 5x + 4y = 4
The lines y = 5x + 4 and y = 4 meet at x = 0. The solution of the equation is the x-coordinate of the point where the two sides are equal.

How to work it out

  1. 1

    The goal is to get x alone. Undo the operations in the opposite order: first the addition, then the multiplication.

    5x+4=45x + 4 = 4
  2. 2

    Subtract 4 from both sides:

    5x+4−4=4−4 ⇒ 5x=05x + 4 - 4 = 4 - 4 \ \Rightarrow\ 5x = 0
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 5:

    5x5=05 ⇒ x=0\frac{5x}{5} = \frac{0}{5} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 0
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 0 back into the equation.
