Question

What is the solution to the equation? 4(x – 3) = 7x + 24 A. x = 12 B. x = –12 C. x = –36 D. x = 4

Answer 1

Simplify both sides of the equation

4(x-3) = 7x+24

4x-12 = 7x+24

Subtract 7x from both sides

4x-12-7x= 7x+24-7x

-3x-12= 24

Add 12 to both sides

-3x-12+12 = 24+12

-3x=36

Divide both sides by -3

-3x/-3= 36/-3

x = -12

Answer : B

I hope that's help !
