Solve for x.
3/4(8x-12)=2(4x+1)-4
What are the step to this equation.

Sagot :

1. Simplify the expression
Combine like terms:
3/4(8x-12)=2(4x+1)-4
6x-9=2(4x+1)-4
6x-9=8 x-2

2. Group all X terms on the left side of the equation
Subtract 8X from both sides:
6x-9=8 x-2
(6x-9)-8x=(8x-2)-8x
-2x-9=(8x-2)-8x
-2x-9=-2

Group all constants on the right side of the equation
Add 9 to both sides of the equation:
-2x-9=-2
(-2x-9)+9=-2+9
-2x=-2+9
-2x=7

Isolate the X
Divide both sides of the equation by -2:
-2x=7
(-2x) 7
——- = —
-2 -2

X= 7

-2

X= -7
