Answer: 43/19

Explanation:

4x−2+3(5x−2+7)=56

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

4x−2+3(5x−2+7)=56

4x+−2+(3)(5x)+(3)(−2)+(3)(7)=56(Distribute)

4x+−2+15x+−6+21=56

(4x+15x)+(−2+−6+21)=56(Combine Like Terms)

19x+13=56

19x+13=56

Step 2: Subtract 13 from both sides.

19x+13−13=56−13

19x=43

Step 3: Divide both sides by 19.

19/19x=43/19 thus the answer is 43/19
