x=14/3 is the correct answer. First you had to expand, and it gave us, [tex]4(x-3)=4x-12[/tex], or [tex]x+2=4x-12[/tex]. And then subtract by two (2) from both sides of equation, and it gave us, [tex]x+2-2=4x-12-2[/tex]. Simplify, and it gave us, [tex]x=4x-14[/tex]. You can also subtract by four x (4x) from both sides of equation, and it gave us, [tex]x-4x=4x-14-4x[/tex]. And then simplify, and it gave us, [tex]-3x=-14[/tex]. You divide by negative three (-3) from both sides of equation, and it gave us, [tex]\frac{-3x}{-3}=\frac{-14}{-3}[/tex]. And finally simplify, and it gave us the answer is x=14/3 is the final answer. Hope this helps! And thank you for posting your question at here on brainly, and have a great day. -Charlie
