    11/5 = x

    Step-by-step explanation:

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

    Distribute

    12 - 6x = - x+1

    Add 6x to each side

    12 - 6x+6x = 6x-x + 1

    12 = 5x + 1

    Subtract 1 from each side

    12-1 = 5x+1-1

    11 = 5x

    Divide each side by 5

    11/5 = 5x/5

    11/5 = x

    Steps to solve:

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

    ~Distribute

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

    ~Simplify

    12 - 6x = - x + 1

    ~Subtract 12 to both sides

    12 - 12 - 6x = - x + 1 - 12

    ~Simplify

    -6x = - x - 11

    ~Add x to both sides

    -6x + x = - x + x - 11

    ~Simplify

    -5x = - 11

    ~Divide - 5 to both sides

    -5x/-5 = - 11/-5

    ~Simplify

    x = 11/5

    Best of Luck!
