Question 379435
{{{11(x-6)-4(x+3)=4(x-3)}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{11x-66-4x-12=4x-12}}} Distribute.



{{{7x-78=4x-12}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{7x=4x-12+78}}} Add {{{78}}} to both sides.



{{{7x-4x=-12+78}}} Subtract {{{4x}}} from both sides.



{{{3x=-12+78}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{3x=66}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(66)/(3)}}} Divide both sides by {{{3}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=22}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{x=22}}}
