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
