4%28x%2B2%29-3%281-x%29=12-%284-3x%29 Start with the given equation.


4x%2B8-3%2B3x=12-4%2B3x Distribute.


7x%2B5=12-4%2B3x Combine like terms on the left side.


7x%2B5=3x%2B8 Combine like terms on the right side.


7x=3x%2B8-5 Subtract 5 from both sides.


7x-3x=8-5 Subtract 3x from both sides.


4x=8-5 Combine like terms on the left side.


4x=3 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%283%29%2F%284%29 Divide both sides by 4 to isolate x.
