Best Answer

A lack of spacing between symbols indicates multiplication. In this case, "4x" is another way of saying "4 times x", or "x + x + x + x".

'x' is an unknown variable. For example, if you were to say:

4x = 8

That's a way of saying "four times a certain value is equal to eight". The solution in this case is that x equals two, as four times two is equal to eight. You can see this by dividing both sides of the equation by four:

4x = 8

4x / 4 = 8 / 4

x = 2
