Solve and check the solution for 4(2x-3)=3(2x+6)

4 ( 2x - 3 ) = 3 ( 2x + 6
)


First, distribute the 4 and the
3


By distributing, you should
get


8x - 12 = 6x + 18 now add
12 on both sides


By adding, you should
get


8x = 6x + 30 now subtract
6x on both sides


By subtracting, you should
get


2x = 30 now divide 2 on
both sides


By dividing, you should
get


x = 15 which is your
answer


CHECKING YOUR
WORK


4 ( 2 X 15 - 3 ) = 3 ( 2 X 15 + 6
)


4 ( 30 - 3 ) = 3 ( 30 + 6
)


4 ( 27 ) = 3 ( 36 )


108 =
108


so x = 15 is your
answer
