3(3x+6)=4(7x-1)
To start, do you have any idea what your first step is?
find x
9x + 18 = 28x - 4 add like terms, isolate the variable 9x = 28x -22 -19x = -22
Well, that's your overall goal. What I mean is: What do you have to do first?
9x+18
Sorry that I couldn't help at all, obviously Noseboy will know everything to do with math
Correct @juvensky . Now the other side?
28x-4
Correct! Now, try to get all the parts with X's, and all the parts with normal integers on their own respective sides.
-18-4 -9x+28
Yep! Now simplify those sides by adding/subtracting.
19x or 37
Hmm, go back to the previous step, where you had nothing solved except for the two sides. (Right after you distributed). Please restate that for me.
@juvensky
Yeah just subtract and add both side.. then we find the answer..
