Question 649354
{{{3(2x-1)=-2(x+4)}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{6x-3=-2x-8}}} Distribute.



{{{6x=-2x-8+3}}} Add {{{3}}} to both sides.



{{{6x+2x=-8+3}}} Add {{{2x}}} to both sides.



{{{8x=-8+3}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{8x=-5}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(-5)/(8)}}} Divide both sides by {{{8}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{x=-5/8}}}
