Question

Solve for x: 4x(3y-2)=7x+11

Answer 1

x=11(12y-15)

Explanation:

4x(3y-2)=7x+11

12xy-8x=7x+11

12xy-8x-7x=11

12xy-15x=11

x(12y-15)=11

x(12y-15)/(12y-15)=11/(12y-15)

x=11/(12y-15)

Answer 2

Answer:
`x=(11)/(12y-15)`

Explanation:

To solve for x, we want to isolate the variable.

`4x(3y-2)=7x+11` [distribute]

`12xy-8x=7x+11` [subtract both sides by 7x]

`12xy-8x-7x=11` [combine like terms]

`12xy-15x=11` [factor out x]

`x(12y-15)=11` [divide both sides by 12y-15]

`x=(11)/(12y-15)`

Now, we know that
`x=(11)/(12y-15)`.
