3x+2(4x-4)=3 - remove parentheses
3x+ 8x-8=3 - collect like terms
11x- 8 =3 - move the constant to the right
11x=3+8 - calculate
11x = 11 - divide both sides by 11
x= 1
11x-2
You combine same so
4x-1x =3x
3x +8x= 11x
11x-2
Answer:
x = 2 11/12
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply the equation by 12. This eliminates fractions.
... 12 -12x -28 = 12x +27 -36x -8
Collect terms.
... -16 -12x = -24x +19
Add 24x+16
... 12x = 35
Divide by the coefficient of x
... x = 35/12 = 2 11/12
All the common factors of 24, 64, 88 are 1, 2, 4, 8
4 to 7......add them = 11
4/11 * 33 = 132/11 = 12
7/11 * 33 = 231/11 = 21
