Don't be snarky !
4x - x/4 + x + 1/3 = 2x
Add up the 'x' terms on the left side: (4 + 1/4 + 1)x = 5-1/4 x = 21/4 x
Now the equation is: 21/4 x + 1/3 = 2x
2x is the same as 8/4 x . Subtract it from each side:
13/4x + 1/3 = 0
Subtract 1/3 from each side :
13/4 x = - 1/3
Multiply each side by 4 :
13 x = - 4/3
Divide each side by 13 :
x = (- 4/3) / (13) = - 4 / 39
