Solve +3=2(4x+1)

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

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{1}{8}=0.125$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Divide both sides by 2.

$$\frac{3}{2}=4x+1$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$4x+1=\frac{3}{2}$$

Subtract 1 from both sides.

$$4x=\frac{3}{2}-1$$

Convert 1 to fraction \frac{2}{2}.

$$4x=\frac{3}{2}-\frac{2}{2}$$

Since \frac{3}{2} and \frac{2}{2} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$4x=\frac{3-2}{2}$$

Subtract 2 from 3 to get 1.

$$4x=\frac{1}{2}$$

Divide both sides by 4.

$$x=\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{4}$$

Express \frac{\frac{1}{2}}{4} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{1}{2\times 4}$$

Multiply 2 and 4 to get 8.

$$x=\frac{1}{8}$$
