Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

4(x - 2) = 3x + 1

Step 2: Solve for x

Distribute 4: 4x - 8 = 3x + 1
Subtract 3x on both sides: x - 8 = 1
Add 8 to both sides: x = 9

Step 3: Check

Plug in x to verify it's a solution.

Substitute: 4(9 - 2) = 3(9) + 1
Parenthesis (add): 4(7) = 3(9) + 1
Multiply: 28 = 27 + 1
Add: 28 = 28
