Answer:

11/6 in fraction form or 1.83 in decimal form

Explanation:

distribute...

3(4x-1)= 12x-3

put back together...

12x-3+7=10+8

simplify...

12x-4=18

add four to both sides (remember we are trying to isolate x)

12x=22

divide both sides by 12 to isolate x

x=11/6 in fraction form or approximately 1.83 in decimal form.
