To attempt this algebraic equation we will be multiplying 4 to (3 - x) bracket so as to form the term on L.H.S.


:\implies\tt{4(3 - x) = (1 - 2x)}


:\implies\tt{(12 - 4x) = (1 - 2x)}


:\implies\tt{12 - 4x = 1 - 2x}

Combining like terms, we get,


:\implies\tt{12 - 1 = - 2x + 4x}


:\implies\tt{11 = 2x}


:\implies\tt{2x = 11}


:\implies\tt{x = (11)/(2) }


:\implies\tt{x = 5.5}

  • The value of x is 5.5

Hey there!

4(3 - x) = (1 - 2x)

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

12 - 4x = 1 - 2x

-4x + 12 = -2x + 1

ADD 2x to BOTH SIDES

-4x + 12 + 2x = -2x + 1 + 2x

SIMPLIFY IT!

-2x + 12 = 1

SUBTRACT 12 to BOTH SIDES

-2x + 12 - 12 = 1 - 12

SIMPLIFY IT!
-2x = -11

DIVIDE -2 to BOTH SIDES

-2x/-2 = -11/-2

SIMPLIFY IT!
x = 11/2


Therefore, your answer should be:

x = 11/2


Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!
