Step 1
Given: 3x45x=x+4+x
42x=2x+4
Add 2x4 on both sides,
42x+2x4=2x+4+2x4
Add the like terms,
8+0x=4x+0
8=4x
So, it is 4x=8
Divide by 4 on both sides,
4x4=84
x=84
Divide by 4 on both numerator and denominator,
x=84÷44
x=2
The value of x is -2.

Step 1
Simplify both sides of the equation.
3x45x=x+4+x
3x+(4)+(5)=x+4+x
(3x+(5x))+(4)=(x+x)+(4) (Combine Like Terms)
2x±4=2x+4
Step 2:
Subtract 2x from both sides
2x42x=2x+42x
4x4=4
Step 3
Add 4 to bot hsides
4x4+4=4+4
4x=8
Stpe 4
Divide both sides by -4
4x4=84
x=2

Step 1
3x-4-5x=x+4+x
Add similar elements: 3x-5x=-2x
-2x-4=x+4+x
Group like terms
-2x-4=x+x+4
Add similar elements: x+x=2x
-2x-4=2x+4
Add 4 to both sides
-2x-4+4=2x+4+4
Simplify
-2x=2x+8
Subtract 2x from both sides
-2x-2x=2x+8-2x
Simplify
-4x=8
Divide both sides by -4
4x4=84
Answer: x=-2
