Question

1/3(6x-3)-1/4(20x+8)=-6

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{1}{3}(6x-3)-\frac{1}{4}(20x+8)=-6\\\\[Distribute the first fraction into the parenthesis.]\\((\frac{1}{3}*6x)-(\frac{1}{3}*3))-\frac{1}{4}(20x+8)=-6\\\\2x-1-\frac{1}{4}(20x+8)=-6\\\\[Distribute the second fraction into the parenthesis.]\\2x-1-((\frac{1}{4}*20x)+(\frac{1}{4}*8))=-6\\\\2x-1-5x-2=-6\\\\[Combine like terms.]\\-3x-3=-6\\\\[Add 3 to both sides.]\\-3x=-3\\\\[Divide both sides by -3.]\\x=1$
