Question

Solve the following equation 3(x-4)=2(-2x+1)9=v+4 over v+12-3(7p+5)=27-8-3k over 2 = 11

Answer 1

Given the equation below:

`3(x-4)=2(-2x+1)`

Remove the brackets by using the distributive property of algebra

`3(x)-3(4)=2(-2x)+2(1)`
`\begin{gathered} 3x-12=-4x+2 \\ \end{gathered}`

Collect like terms and simplify

`\begin{gathered} 3x+4x=2+12 \\ 7x=14 \\ (7x)/(7)=(14)/(7) \\ x=2 \end{gathered}`

Hence, the value of x is 2
