(12x + 4)/(2x + 7) = 4

Multiply both sides by (2x + 7)

(12x + 4)*(2x + 7)/(2x + 7) = 4(2x + 7)

12x + 4 = 4(2x + 7)

4 * 2x = 8x

4 * 7 = 28

12x + 4 = 8x + 28

Subtract 8x from each side of the equation.

12x + 4 - 8x = 8x + 28 - 8x

Combine like terms:

12x - 8x = 4x

8x - 8x = 0

4x + 4 = 28

Subtract 4 from each side of the equation

4x + 4 - 4 = 28 - 4

Combine like terms:

4 - 4 = 0

28 - 4 = 24

4x = 24

Divide each side by 4

4x/4 = 24/4
