Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute

3 (−4) = 2 (−2+1)

3 − 12 = 2 (-2x +1)

Distrubute again

3x - 12 = -4x + 2

Add twelve to both sides of the equation

Simpfly

3x = -4x + 14

Add 4x to both sides of the equation

simpfly

7x = 14

Divide both sides of the equation by the same term

Simpfly

x = 2
