Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
4x+2(xβ3)=3x+xβ12
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
4x+2(xβ3)=3x+xβ12
4x+(2)(x)+(2)(β3)=3x+x+β12(Distribute)
4x+2x+β6=3x+x+β12
(4x+2x)+(β6)=(3x+x)+(β12)(Combine Like Terms)
6x+β6=4x+β12
6xβ6=4xβ12
Step 2: Subtract 4x from both sides.
6xβ6β4x=4xβ12β4x
2xβ6=β12
Step 3: Add 6 to both sides.
2xβ6+6=β12+6
2x=β6
Step 4: Divide both sides by 2.
2x
