Question

$$3(6-2x)=4(1-5x)$$

Answer

x=-1

Solution


Expand.
\[18-6x=4-20x\]
Subtract \(4\) from both sides.
\[18-6x-4=-20x\]
Simplify  \(18-6x-4\)  to  \(-6x+14\).
\[-6x+14=-20x\]
Add \(6x\) to both sides.
\[14=-20x+6x\]
Simplify  \(-20x+6x\)  to  \(-14x\).
\[14=-14x\]
Divide both sides by \(-14\).
\[-1=x\]
Switch sides.
\[x=-1\]
