8x%2B1%2B4x=3 Start with the given equation


12x%2B1=3 Combine like terms on the left side


12x=3-1Subtract 1 from both sides


12x=2 Combine like terms on the right side


x=%282%29%2F%2812%29 Divide both sides by 12 to isolate x



x=1+%2F+6 Reduce

--------------------------------------------------------------
Answer:
So our answer is x=1+%2F+6 (which is x=0.166666666666667 in decimal form)
