You can put this solution on YOUR website!
-3(4x+3)-2=7-2x+3
-3%284x%29-3%283%29-2=7%2B3-2x
-12x-9-2=10-2x
-12x-11=10-2x
-12x%2B2x-11=10-2x%2B2x
-10x-11=10
-10x-11%2B11=10%2B11
-10x=21
-10x%2F-10=21%2F-10
highlight%28x=-21%2F10%29


and
(x+3)/4-3/2=(x+4)/8 Multiply each term by the LCD to clear the fractions:
8%28x%2B3%29%2F4%2B8%28-3%2F2%29=8%28x%2B4%29%2F8
2%28x%2B3%29%2B4%28-3%29=x%2B4
2x%2B6-12=x%2B4
2x-6=x%2B4
2x-x-6=-x%2Bx%2B4
x-6=4
x-6%2B6=4%2B6
highlight%28x=10%29
Happy Calculating!!!!
