The value of x in the equation
is x = -27
How to determine the value of x in the equation
From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:
Express fractions as improper fractions
So, we have
Open the brackets
Multiply through by 6
2x + 48 = x + 42 - 21
This gives
2x - x = 42 - 21 - 48
Evaluate
x = -27
Hence, the value of x in the equation is x = -27
