Question

What is the step by step equation and answer?3(2x+1)=18+4x-7

Answer 1

x = 4

Explanation:

3(2x + 1) = 18 + 4x - 7

First distribute 3 by multiplying it by 2x and 1.

= 6x + 3 = 18 + 4x - 7

Then, add any like terms.

= 6x + 3 = 11 + 4x

-4x -4x

= 2x + 3 = 11

-3 -3

= 2x = 8

/2 /2

x = 4
