Question 915246
{{{4(2x+1)=27+3(2x-5)}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{8x+4=27+6x-15}}} Distribute.



{{{8x+4=6x+12}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{8x=6x+12-4}}} Subtract {{{4}}} from both sides.



{{{8x-6x=12-4}}} Subtract {{{6x}}} from both sides.



{{{2x=12-4}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{2x=8}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(8)/(2)}}} Divide both sides by {{{2}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=4}}} Reduce.
