Question

Expand and simplify 3(2x + 1) + 2(x + 4) Answer this step by step please x

Answer 1

Answer:

$x=\frac{-11}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation:

$3(2x + 1) + 2(x + 4)$

Taking the standard form of the equation to solve for 'x':

$3(2x + 1) + 2(x + 4)=0$

Solving the brackets:

$3(2x)+3(1)+2(x)+2(4)=0$

$6x+3+2x+8=0$

Adding the like terms:

$8x+11=0$

Subtracting '11' both sides:

$8x+11-11=-11$

$8x=-11$

Dividing by '8' both sides:

$x=\frac{-11}{8}$
