Answer: How To Solve Your Problem

Explanation:

First You Distribute:

3(4x-1)=x+2

12x-3=x+2

Then You Add 3 To Both Sides:

12x-3=x+2

12x-3+3=x+2+3

Then You Simplify The Expression:

12x-3+3=x+2+3

12=x+5

Then You Subtract X From Both Sides:

12x=x+5

12x-x=x+5-x

Then You Simplify The Expression:

12x-x=x+5-x

11x=5

Then You Divide Both Sides By The Same Factor:

11x=5

11x/11 = 5/11

Then You Cancel Terms That Are In Both The Numerator and Denominator:

11x/11 = 5/11

x= 5/11

Solution:

x= 5/11
