Algebra problem please?

last bit of help. If you can show me how to work out the following problem I'd be most grateful.

8 - 1/4 (3x - 5) = 4 - x

the 1/4 is one over 4.

Thanks again

  • 8 - 1/4 (3x - 5) = 4 - x

    => 32 - 1 (3x - 5) = 16 - 4x................X by 4

    => 32 - 3x + 5 = 16 - 4x

    => 4x - 3x = 16 - 5 -32

    => x = -21

    QED

  • Answer = 8-0.25(3x-5)=4-x

    8-.75x+1.25=4-x

    9.25-.75x=4-x

    5.25=1.75x

    x=-5.25 divided by.25

    x=21

    I have done the above algebra from my knowledge. Check if it is correct.
