Question

How do you solve this problem ? 4(-3x+1)-3x=71

Answer 1

x = -67/15 = -4-46667

Explanation:

4(-3x+1) - 3x = 71

4*-3x + 4*1 - 3x = 71

-12x + 4 - 3x = 71

-15x = 71-4

-15x = 67

x = 67/-15

x = -4.46667

check:

4(-3*-4.46667 + 1) - 3*-4.4666= 71

4(13.4+1) + 13.4 = 71

4*14.4 + 13.4 = 71

57.6 + 13.4 = 71
