2(3x – 4) = 3x + 7. can someone explain step by step how to solve

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

first solve the parenthesis, so you have 2(3x) 2(-4)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

distribute the 2 across your parenthesis, collect like terms, separate the x terms to one side, and divide by whatever your x coefficient is.
