Question

$3(4x-5)-4x+1=-6$

Answer 1

Answer:

$x=1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Expand the brackets by multiplying each term in the bracket by the expression outside the bracket:

    $3(4x-5)-4x+1=-6$

⇒  $12x-15-4x+1=-6$

Gather like terms and combine:

⇒  $12x-4x+1-15=-6$

⇒  $8x-14=-6$

Add 14 to each side of the equation:

⇒  $8x-14+14=-6+14$

⇒  $8x=8$

Divide both sides by 8:

 ⇒  $8x \div8=8\div8$

⇒  $x=1$

Answer 2

Given that : 3(4x-5)-4x+1 = -6

⇒ 12x-15-4x+1 = -6

⇒ (12x-4x)+(1-15) = -6

⇒ 8x+ −14 = −6

⇒ 8x = -6+14

⇒ 8x = 8

⇒ x = 8÷8

⇒ x = 1

So, value of x is 1
