Answer:

x=3/2 or x=1.5

Explanation:

4x+2x+3=12

take 3 from both sides leaving you with 4x+2x=9

6x=9

simplify to get 2x=3

divide both sides by two to get x=3/2

x=1.5

Answer:

x = 1.5

Explanation:

4X + 1/2(4X + 6) =12

Distribute

4x +2x+3 = 12

Combine like terms

6x+3 = 12

Subtract 3 from each side

6x+3-3 =12-3

6x = 9

Divide each side by 6

6x/6 = 9/6

x = 3/2

x = 1.5
