Answer:

X = 4

Explanation:

1. Expand

−12x − 9 + 24x + 4= 43

2. Simplify −12x − 9 + 24x + 4 to 12x−5.

3. Add 5 to both sides.

12x=43+5

4. Simplify 43+5 to 48.

12x = 48

5. Divide both sides by 12


(12x)/(12)
(48)/(12)

6. Simplify
(48)/(12) to 4

X = 4

Answer:

x=4

Explanation:

-3(4x+3)+4(6x+1)=43

Expand:

-12x-9 + 24x+4 = 43

Simplify:

12x-5 = 43

12x = 48

x = 48/12

x = 4

Hope that helps
