Question

I need help solving this 4(3x + 12) = 18 +1/2(24x + 15)

Answer 1

times both sides by 2 to clear fractions
8(3x+12)=36+24x+15
distribute
24x+96=24x+51
minus24x both sides
96=51
false
no solution
but, if it was
`4(3x+12)=18+ (1)/(2(24x+15))` then the answes are

`x= (-75- √(2029) )/(48)` and
`x= (-75+ √(2029) )/(48)`

Answer 2

4(3x+12)=18+1/2(24x+15)
12x+48=18+12x+7.5
0x=-22.5
x=undefined. Hope it help!
