Question

3/4 (12x+8)=-13- (2x+3)

Answer 1

Answer: = − 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Remove parentheses.

3/4 (12x+8)=−13−2x−3

Simplify 3/4(12x+8) to 3(12x+8)/4.
3(12x+8)/4=-13-2x-3

Factor out the common term 4.
3x4(3x+2)/4=-13-2x-3

Simplify 3×4(3x+2) to 12(3x+2).
12(3x+2)/4=-13-2x-3

Simplify 12(3x+2)/4 to 3(3x+2)
3(3x+2)=−13−2x−3

Simplify −13−2x−3 to −2x−16
3(3x+2)=−2x−16

Expand
9x+6=−2x−16

Add 2x to both sides.
9x+6+2x=−16

Simplify 9x+6+2x to 11x+6.
11x+6=−16

Subtract 6 from both sides.
11x=−16−6

Simplify −16−6 to −22
11x=−22

Divide both sides by 11.
x=− 22/11

Simplify 22/11 to 2.
x=−2
