Question

`\text{Solve for 'x':}\\\\3(x+1)=12+4(x-1)`

Answer 1

Hi there!

»»————-　★　————-««

I believe your answer is:

`x = -5`

»»————-　★　————-««

Here’s why:

⸻⸻⸻⸻

`\boxed{\text{Solving for 'x'...}}\\\\3(x+1)=12+4(x-1)\\----------\\\rightarrow 3x + 3 = 12 + 4x - 4\\\\\rightarrow 3x + 3 = 12 -4+4x\\\\\rightarrow 3x + 3 = 8 + 4x\\\\\rightarrow 3x + 3 = 4x + 8\\\\\rightarrow3x + 3 -3 = 4x + 8 - 3\\\\\rightarrow 3x = 4x + 5\\\\\rightarrow 3x - 4x = 4x - 4x + 5\\\\\rightarrow -x = 5\\\\\rightarrow (-x=5)/(-1)\\\\\rightarrow \boxed{x = -5}`

Hope this helps you. I apologize if it’s incorrect.

Answer 2

• x=-5

Explanation:

3(x+1)=12+4(x-1)

3(x+1)=8+4x

3x+3=8+4x

3x+3−4x=8

-x+3=8

-x=8-3

-x=5

-x(-1)=5(-1)

-x(-1)=-5

x=-5
