Solve x+2/4=3(x+8)

$$\frac { x + 2 } { 4 } = 3 ( x + 8 )$$

Solve for x

$$x = -\frac{94}{11} = -8\frac{6}{11} \approx -8.545454545$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by 4.

$$x+2=12\left(x+8\right)$$

Use the distributive property to multiply 12 by x+8.

$$x+2=12x+96$$

Subtract 12x from both sides.

$$x+2-12x=96$$

Combine x and -12x to get -11x.

$$-11x+2=96$$

Subtract 2 from both sides.

$$-11x=96-2$$

Subtract 2 from 96 to get 94.

$$-11x=94$$

Divide both sides by -11.

$$x=\frac{94}{-11}$$

Fraction \frac{94}{-11} can be rewritten as -\frac{94}{11} by extracting the negative sign.

$$x=-\frac{94}{11}$$
