How do i solve this using multi-step ?

Answer 1

How would I know this it so hard

Answer 2

x=2

Explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

3(x−4)=2(−2x+1)

(3 )(x)+(3 )(−4)=(2) (−2x)+(2) (1)(Distribute evenly)

3x+(−12)=−4x+2

3x−12=−4x+2

Step 2: Add 4x to both sides.

3x−12+4x=−4x+2+4x

7x−12=2

Step 3: Add 12 to both sides.

7x−12+12=2+12

7x=14

Step 4: Divide both sides by 7.

7x /7 =14 /7

x=2
