3%284x-1%29=12x Start with the given equation.


12x-3=12x Distribute.


12x=12x%2B3 Add 3 to both sides.


12x-12x=3 Subtract 12x from both sides.


0x=3 Combine like terms on the left side.


0=3 Simplify.


Since this equation is never true for any x value, this means that there are no solutions.
