Question

Equation help?

2x - ¼ of (12x + 4) = 3

Could you show the steps to solve this please?

Answer 1

2x -(12x-4)/4=3

2x -{12x/4-4/4}=3

2x-(3x-1)=3
2x-3x+1=3

-x=3-1
x=-2

Answer 2

@ihateschool1234567 : you got it ?

Answer 3

\[2x -[ (\frac{ 1 }{ 4 } ) \times (12x + 4)] = 3\]
\[2x - [\frac{ 12x }{ 4 } + \frac{ 4 }{ 4 } ] = 3\]

\[2x - [ 3x - 1 ] = 3\]
\[-x + 1 = 3\]
\[x = -2\]

hope this will help ya out
