Answer:

The answer is 11/5.

Explanation:

First, multiply 3 and 4 together. Do the same with 3 and -2x. Now you should have −6x + 12 = −x + 1. Now, add x to both sides. You should have −5x + 12 = 1. Now subtract 12 to both sides. You should have -5x = -11. Divide both sides by -5. Since -11 and -5 both have the negative sign, they cancel out. You should now get the answer, 11/5! Have a good day!
