Answer :

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]3(4x - 3) = - 4 + 7[/tex]

Expand :

[tex]3(4x - 3) = 12x - 9 \\ 12x - 9 = - 4 + 7[/tex]

Simplify : Add values

[tex]12x - 9 = 3[/tex]

Collect like terms and simplify

[tex]12x = 3 + 9 \\ 12x = 12[/tex]

Divide both sides of the equation by 12

[tex] \frac{12x}{12} = \frac{12}{12} [/tex]

Simplify

[tex]x = 1[/tex]

Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Original Equation:

3(4x - 3) = -4 + 7

Use the distributive property.

3 x 4x = 12x

3 x -3 = -9

Equation:

12x - 9 = -4 + 7

Add 4 to both sides.

12x - 5 = 7

Add 5 to both sides.

12x = 12

Divide both sides by 12

x = 1
