Question

5 + 2(3x - 4) = 12x - 11

Answer 1

x = 3/4

Explanation:

5+6x-8 = 12x-11 *distributed the positive 2*

6x-3 = 12x-11 *combine like terms*

-3 = 6x-11 *subtract 6x on both sides*

8 = 6x *add 11 on both sides*

x = 6/8 *divide 8 on both sides*

x = 3/4 *simplify 6/8 to 3/4*

hope this helps :)
