Question

Solve these equation

4(3-x)=(1-2x)​

Answer 1

To attempt this algebraic equation we will be multiplying 4 to (3 - x) bracket so as to form the term on L.H.S.

$:\implies\tt{4(3 - x) = (1 - 2x)}$

$:\implies\tt{(12 - 4x) = (1 - 2x)}$

$:\implies\tt{12 - 4x = 1 - 2x}$

Combining like terms, we get,

$:\implies\tt{12 - 1 = - 2x + 4x}$

$:\implies\tt{11 = 2x}$

$:\implies\tt{2x = 11}$

$:\implies\tt{x = \frac{11}{2} }$

$:\implies\tt{x = 5.5}$

• The value of x is 5.5

Answer 2

Hey there!

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

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

12 - 4x = 1 - 2x

-4x + 12 = -2x + 1

ADD 2x to BOTH SIDES

-4x + 12 + 2x = -2x + 1 + 2x

SIMPLIFY IT!

-2x + 12 = 1

SUBTRACT 12 to BOTH SIDES

-2x + 12 - 12 = 1 - 12

SIMPLIFY IT!
-2x = -11

DIVIDE -2 to BOTH SIDES

-2x/-2 = -11/-2

SIMPLIFY IT!
x = 11/2

Therefore, your answer should be:

x = 11/2

Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!
