Question 339161


{{{-4(2-3x)=7-2(x-3)}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{-8+12x=7-2x+6}}} Distribute.



{{{-8+12x=-2x+13}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{12x=-2x+13+8}}} Add {{{8}}} to both sides.



{{{12x+2x=13+8}}} Add {{{2x}}} to both sides.



{{{14x=13+8}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{14x=21}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(21)/(14)}}} Divide both sides by {{{14}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=3/2}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{x=3/2}}}
