Answer: -8

This question has multiple parts, so let us try to break it down the best we can!

We are given:
7(x+1)-4(x+1)=-2

We are asked to find the value of:
12(x+1)

  1. Distribute each part of the equation accordingly, we are left with:
    7x+7-4x-4=-2
  2. Combine like terms:
    3x+3=-2
  3. Translate +3 to -3 to effectively isolate the 3x.
    3x=-5
  4. Solve for x alone:
    x = -5/3
  5. Plug in our newfound x into the equation
    12(-5/3+1)
  6. When solving after plugging in, our answer is -8.
