First you multiply 3 times x and 3 times 2
4(3(x + 2) -1) =50
and get
4( 3x +6 -1) =50
then you add 6 plus -1
4 ( 3x +5) = 50
then multiply 4 times 3x and 4 times 5
12x +20 = 50 and subtract 20 from both sides
-20 -20
and you will get
12x = 30
divided both sides by 12
12x/12 = 30/12
then you find the ones that are the same amount in decimals but are smaller
and that's your answer: x= 5/2
hope you get it!!!
