Question

Solve:
3(4 – 2x) = -x+1

Answer 1

x = 11/5

Explanation:

Given equation,

→ 3(4 - 2x) = -x + 1

Now the value of x will be,

→ 3(4 - 2x) = -x + 1

→ 12 - 6x = -x + 1

→ -6x + x = 1 - 12

→ -5x = -11

→ x = -11/-5

→ [ x = 11/5 ]

Hence, the value of x is 11/5.

Answer 2

____________________________________________________

Answer:

x = 11/5

____________________________________________________

Explanation:

We are solving for x:

3(4 – 2x) = -x + 1

Distribute the 3 to the 4 and -2x

12 - 6x = -x + 1

Add x to both sides to get the x's together

12 - 5x = 1

Subtract both sides by 12

-5x = -11

Divide by -5. Two negatives turn into a positive.

x = 11/5
