Question

-3(4x+3)+4(6x+1)=43 solve for x please show all work

Answer 1

distribute 4x+3 by -3
distribute 6x + 1 by 4

Answer 2

-3 multiplied by 4x and 3 gets you -12x-9

Then multiply 4 by 6x and 1 and that gets you 24x+4

That together is -12x-9+24x+4=43

Then 24x-12x is 12x and -9+4 is -5 so that gets you to 12x-5=43

Then add 5 to both sides getting you 12x=48

Lastly divide by 12 and get x=4

Answer: X=4
