Question

Solve for x, please show work


3(4x-12)+3=3x-7+12x​

Answer 1

x = -
`(26)/(3)`

Explanation:

3(4x - 12) + 3 = 3x - 7 + 12x ← distribute parenthesis and simplify left side

12x - 36 + 3 = 15x - 7

12x - 33 = 15x - 7 ( subtract 15x from both sides )

- 3x - 33 = - 7 ( add 33 to both sides )

- 3x = 26 ( divide both sides by - 3 )

x = -
`(26)/(3)`
