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

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

Solve for x

$$x = -\frac{13}{7} = -1\frac{6}{7} \approx -1.857142857$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by 4.

$$x+3-8\left(x+1\right)=8$$

Use the distributive property to multiply -8 by x+1.

$$x+3-8x-8=8$$

Combine x and -8x to get -7x.

$$-7x+3-8=8$$

Subtract 8 from 3 to get -5.

$$-7x-5=8$$

Add 5 to both sides.

$$-7x=8+5$$

Add 8 and 5 to get 13.

$$-7x=13$$

Divide both sides by -7.

$$x=\frac{13}{-7}$$

Fraction \frac{13}{-7} can be rewritten as -\frac{13}{7} by extracting the negative sign.

$$x=-\frac{13}{7}$$
