Question

2(4x-1)+3=7
i'm little confused on this

Answer 1

x =
`(3)/(4)`

Explanation:

Since you cannot subtract -1 from 4x, you multiply 2 × 4x = 8x

Now, you have 8x - 1 + 3 = 7

Seperate the 8x from the other numbers

8x = 1 - 3 + 7 ---> 6

8x = 6

Now simplify

x =
`(6)/(8)` <----- to reduce, divide the numerator and denominator by 2

Hence,

x =
`(3)/(4)`
