To get more practice in equation, we brought you this problem of the week:

How can we solve the equation \(\frac{4(4x-3)}{5}=\frac{4}{5}\)?

Check out the solution below!



\[\frac{4(4x-3)}{5}=\frac{4}{5}\]

1
Multiply both sides by \(5\).
\[4(4x-3)=\frac{4}{5}\times 5\]

2
Cancel \(5\).
\[4(4x-3)=4\]

3
Divide both sides by \(4\).
\[4x-3=1\]

4
Add \(3\) to both sides.
\[4x=1+3\]

5
Simplify  \(1+3\)  to  \(4\).
\[4x=4\]

6
Divide both sides by \(4\).
\[x=1\]
