Question

Solve the equation.

3x-3(4+x)=3/4(3x+2)-1

Answer 1

`x=(10)/(3)`

Explanation:

`3x-3(4+x)=(3)/(4)(3x+2)-1`

Solve the parenthesis ↑

`3x-12+3x=(9)/(4)x+(6)/(4)-1`

Multiply everything by 4 to get rid of the denominators.

`(12x)/(4)-(48)/(4)+(12x)/(4)=(9)/(4)x+(6)/(4)-(4)/(4)`

Rid the denominators.

`12x-48+12x=9x+6-4`

Solve.

`12x+12x-9x=6-4+48`

`15x=50`

`x=(50)/(15)`

Simplify.

`x=(10)/(3)`
