Help me with this pls

Answer 1

step 3

Explanation:

`(1)/(4)` (12x + 8) + 4 = 3 ← distribute parenthesis by
`(1)/(4)`

3x + 2 + 4 = 3 ← simplify left side by collecting like terms

3x + 6 = 3 ← subtract 6 from both sides (subtraction property of equality )

3x + 6 - 6 = 3 - 6 , that is

3x = - 3 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = - 1
