4%283x-1%29-2%28x-3%29=48 Start with the given equation



12x-4-2x%2B6=48 Distribute


10x%2B2=48 Combine like terms on the left side


10x=48-2Subtract 2 from both sides


10x=46 Combine like terms on the right side


x=%2846%29%2F%2810%29 Divide both sides by 10 to isolate x



x=23%2F5 Reduce

--------------------------------------------------------------
Answer:
So our answer is x=23%2F5 (which is x=4.6 in decimal form)
