Question

`3(2x - 3) = 4(x + 1)`
solve the problem and show your work

Answer 1

x =
`(13)/(2)`

Explanation:

distribute parenthesis on both sides of the equation

6x - 9 = 4x + 4 ( subtract 4x from both sides )

2x - 9 = 4 ( add 9 to both sides )

2x = 13 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x =
`(13)/(2)`
