Question

Solve these equation4(3-x)=(1-2x)​

Answer 1

To attempt this algebraic equation we will be multiplying 4 to (3 - x) bracket so as to form the term on L.H.S.

$:\implies\tt{4(3 - x) = (1 - 2x)}$

$:\implies\tt{(12 - 4x) = (1 - 2x)}$

$:\implies\tt{12 - 4x = 1 - 2x}$

Combining like terms, we get,

$:\implies\tt{12 - 1 = - 2x + 4x}$

$:\implies\tt{11 = 2x}$

$:\implies\tt{2x = 11}$

$:\implies\tt{x = \frac{11}{2} }$

$:\implies\tt{x = 5.5}$

• The value of x is 5.5
