Question 105321

{{{4(3x-1)-2(x-3)=48}}} Start with the given equation




{{{12x-4-2x+6=48}}} Distribute



{{{10x+2=48}}} Combine like terms on the left side



{{{10x=48-2}}}Subtract 2 from both sides



{{{10x=46}}} Combine like terms on the right side



{{{x=(46)/(10)}}} Divide both sides by 10 to isolate x




{{{x=23/5}}} Reduce


--------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:

So our answer is {{{x=23/5}}}  (which is {{{x=4.6}}} in decimal form)
