Answer:
x=1.33 repeating or 1 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
You take 4 and distribute to everything in the parentheses.
You also do the same for the -4.
After you distribute, you should get: 4x+24=-8x+36+3x
Then you combine like terms (the two x's on the right side of the equation.
You should then get: 4x+24=-5x+36
Next, you subtract 24 from the positive 24, to cancel it out, and the 36 to get 12.
Then, add 5x to the negative 5x, to cancel it out, and to the 4x to get 9x.
Finally, you divide 12 by 9 to get 1.33 repeating or 1 1/3.
