Solve 7= 4/1 (3x-12)

Evaluate

7 = \frac{4}{1} (3 x - 12)

Divide the terms

7 = 4 (3 x - 12)

Swap the sides of the equation

4 (3 x - 12) = 7

Divide both sides

\frac{4 ( 3 x - 12 )}{4} = \frac{7}{4}

Divide the numbers

3 x - 12 = \frac{7}{4}

Move the constant to the right side

3 x = \frac{7}{4} + 12

Add the numbers

3 x = \frac{55}{4}

Multiply by the reciprocal

3 x \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{55}{4} \times \frac{1}{3}

Multiply

x = \frac{55}{4} \times \frac{1}{3}
