Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
After you simplify the left side by eliminating parentheses and collecting terms, you have a 2-step linear equation.
-3(4x +3) +4(6x +1) = 43 . . . . . . given
-12x -9 +24x +4 = 43 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
12x-5 = 43 . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms (now a 2-step equation)
12x = 48 . . . . . . . . . . step 1, add the opposite of the unwanted constant
x = 4 . . . . . . . . . . . step 2, divide by the coefficient of x
The solution is x = 4.

-3(4·4 +3) +4(6·4 +1) = 43 . . . . substitute for x
-3(16 +3) +4(24 +1) = 43
-3(19) +4(25) = 43
-57 +100 = 43 . . . . . true
So for every two girls, there's four boys. There are twice as many boys than girls, so the number of girls • 2 = your answer.
51 • 2 = 102
