<PRE><B>Question 102292</B>


{{{8x+1+4x=3}}} Start with the given equation



{{{12x+1=3}}} Combine like terms on the left side



{{{12x=3-1}}}Subtract 1 from both sides



{{{12x=2}}} Combine like terms on the right side



{{{x=(2)/(12)}}} Divide both sides by 12 to isolate x




{{{x=1 / 6}}} Reduce


--------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:

So our answer is {{{x=1 / 6}}}  (which is {{{x=0.166666666666667}}} in decimal form)
