Haiden · Answer 2

4 (x-2) = 3x+1

Mutiply the first bracket by 4

(4) (x) (4) (-2) = 3x+1

4x-8 = 3x+1

Move 3x to the other side.

Sign changes from + 3x to - 3x.

4x-3x-8 = 3x-3x+1

4x-3x-8 = 1

x-8 = 1

Move - 8 to the other side.

Sign changes from - 8 to + 8.

x-8+8 = 1-8

x = 9

Answer: x = 9
