3(4x-12)+3=3x-7+12x​


Sagot :

Answer:

x = - [tex]\frac{26}{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

3(4x - 12) + 3 = 3x - 7 + 12x ← distribute parenthesis and simplify left side

12x - 36 + 3 = 15x - 7

12x - 33 = 15x - 7 ( subtract 15x from both sides )

- 3x - 33 = - 7 ( add 33 to both sides )

- 3x = 26 ( divide both sides by - 3 )

x = - [tex]\frac{26}{3}[/tex]
