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

Evaluate

3 (x - 4) = 2 (- 2 x \times 1)

Rewrite the expression

3 (x - 4) = 2 (- 2) x \times 1

Multiply the terms

More Steps

3 (x - 4) = - 4 x

Expand the expression

More Steps

3 x - 12 = - 4 x

Move the variable to the left side

3 x - 12 + 4 x = 0

Add the terms

More Steps

7 x - 12 = 0

Move the constant to the right side

7 x = 0 + 12

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

7 x = 12

Divide both sides

\frac{7 x}{7} = \frac{12}{7}

Solution

x = \frac{12}{7}

Alternative Form

x = 1. \dot{7} 1428 \dot{5}
