Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.12(x+23)=3(x−1) Now let's simplify: 12x+13=3x−3.
Step 2: Subtract 3x from both sides.12x+133x=3x−33x−52x+13=−3
Step 3: Subtract 1/3 from both sides.−52x+1313=−313−52x=−103
Step 4: Multiply both sides by 2/(-5).(2−5)*(−52x)=(2−5)*(−103)
Et voila - x=4/3
