Answer:-7

Step-by-step explanation:Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

3(3x+1)−(4x+1)=6x−3(x+4)

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

3(3x+1)−(4x+1)=6x−3(x+4)

3(3x+1)+−1(4x+1)=6x−3(x+4)(Distribute the Negative Sign)

3(3x+1)+−1(4x)+(−1)(1)=6x−3(x+4)

3(3x+1)+−4x+−1=6x−3(x+4)

(3)(3x)+(3)(1)+−4x+−1=6x+(−3)(x)+(−3)(4)(Distribute)

9x+3+−4x+−1=6x+−3x+−12

(9x+−4x)+(3+−1)=(6x+−3x)+(−12)(Combine Like Terms)

5x+2=3x+−12

5x+2=3x−12

Step 2: Subtract 3x from both sides.

5x+2−3x=3x−12−3x

2x+2=−12

Step 3: Subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=−12−2

2x=−14

Step 4: Divide both sides by 2.

2x /2

=

−14 /2

x=−7
