Question 338442


{{{-3(4x+3)+4(6x+1)=43}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{-12x-9+24x+4=43}}} Distribute.



{{{12x-5=43}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{12x=43+5}}} Add {{{5}}} to both sides.



{{{12x=48}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(48)/(12)}}} Divide both sides by {{{12}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=4}}} Reduce.
