Answer:
x=\large\boxed{(7)/(8) }

Explanation:

Given equation


4(3x-1)+7x=2x+3+9x

Combine like terms


4(3x-1)+7x=11x+3

Simplify the parenthesis


12x-4+7x=11x+3

Combine like terms


19x-4=11x+3

Subtract 11x on both sides


19x-4-11x=11x+3-11x


8x-4=3

Add 4 on both sides


8x-4+4=3+4


8x=7

Divide 8 on both sides


8x/8=7/8


x=\large\boxed{(7)/(8) }

Hope this helps!! :)
