Question 698098
{{{3(x+1)-5x=12-(6x-7)}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{3x+3-5x=12-6x+7}}} Distribute.



{{{-2x+3=12-6x+7}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-2x+3=-6x+19}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{-2x=-6x+19-3}}} Subtract {{{3}}} from both sides.



{{{-2x+6x=19-3}}} Add {{{6x}}} to both sides.



{{{4x=19-3}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{4x=16}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(16)/(4)}}} Divide both sides by {{{4}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=4}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{x=4}}}
