Answer:
Explanation:
The given equation is:
4 * (� + 3) = 1
To solve this equation, we need to simplify the expression inside the parentheses first.
1. Start by simplifying � + 3. Since � represents an unknown value, we cannot simplify it further.
Now let's substitute the simplified expression back into the original equation:
4 * (� + 3) = 1
2. Now we have:
4 * (� + 3) = 1
3. Distribute the 4 to both terms inside the parentheses:
4� + 4 * 3 = 1
4. Simplify the expression:
4� + 12 = 1
5. Move 12 to the other side of the equation by subtracting it from both sides:
4� = 1 - 12
4� = -11
6. Divide both sides of the equation by 4 to isolate �:
(4�)/4 = -11/4
� = -11/4
So, the value of � is -11/4.
Please note that the equation given in the question does not have a solution when solving for �. The equation results in � = -11/4, which is a specific value for � that satisfies the equation.
