Explanation:
Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
4(x−3)−x−1=3x−12
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
4(x−3)−x−1=3x−12
(4)(x)+(4)(−3)+−x+−1=3x+−12(Distribute)
4x+−12+−x+−1=3x+−12
(4x+−x)+(−12+−1)=3x−12(Combine Like Terms)
3x+−13=3x−12
3x−13=3x−12
Step 2: Subtract 3x from both sides.
3x−13−3x=3x−12−3x
−13=−12
Step 3: Add 13 to both sides.
−13+13=−12+13
