3x + 2(4x - 6) = 8x + 1
Expand the brackets by multiplying everything INSIDE (4x - 6) by the number directly outside (2):
3x + 8x - 12 = 8x + 1
Collect like terms (everything with the same letters):
11x - 12 = 8x + 1
Isolate 11x by adding 12 to both sides:
11x = 8x + 13
Isolate 13 by taking 8x off both sides:
3x = 13
Divide both sides by 3 to get the value of x:
x = [tex]\frac{13}{3}[/tex]
Answer:
X= 13/3
