4(3x - 1) = 24
First, divide both sides by 4. / Your problem should look like: 3x - 1 =

.
Second, simplify

to 6. / Your problem should look like: 3x - 1 = 6.
Third, add 1 to both sides. / Your problem should look like: 3x = 6 + 1.
Fourth, simplify 6 + 1 to 7. / Your problem should look like: 3x = 7.
Fifth, divide both sides by 3. / Your problem should look like: x =

which is your answer.
