Question

−34(8x+12)=3(x−3) What does x equal? Can someone help me solve this ASAP?!?!

Answer 1

Answer:

x= −399 /75

Explanation:

Step 1:

−34(8x+12)=3(x−3)

(−34)(8x)+(−34)(12)=(3)(x)+(3)(−3)(Distribute)

−272x+−408=3x+−9

−272x−408=3x−9

Step 2:

−272x−408−3x=3x−9−3x

−275x−408=−9

Step 3:

−275x−408+408=−9+408

−275x=399

Step 4:

−275x

−275

=

399

−275
