Question

Équation 3 (2x+1) = 4x

Answer 1

Answer:-1.5

Explanation:

first distribute 3

to get 6x + 3= 4x

then -6x on right side to get

3= -2x

then divide by -2

3/-2= x

x= -1.5

Answer 2

Hello !

Answer:

`\Large \boxed{\sf x=-(3)/(2)}`

Explanation:

We're looking for the value of x that satisfies the following equation :

`\sf 3 (2x+1) = 4x`

We need to isolate x.

First, let's expand left side :

`\sf 3* 2x+3*1=4x\\6x+3=4x`

Now let's substract 4x from both sides :

`\sf 6x+3-4x=4x-4x\\2x+3=0`

Substract 3 from both sides :

`\sf 2x+3-3=0-3\\2x=-3`

Finally, let's divide both sides by 2 :

`\sf (2x)/(2) =-(3)/(2) \\\boxed{\sf x=-(3)/(2)}`

Have a nice day ;)
