{{{4(2x-3)+3(2x+3)=16}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{8x-12+6x+9=16}}} Distribute.



{{{14x-3=16}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{14x=16+3}}} Add {{{3}}} to both sides.



{{{14x=19}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(19)/(14)}}} Divide both sides by {{{14}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{x=19/14}}} which approximates to {{{x=1.357}}}.
