Solve 3(2x-1)=8

$$3 ( 2 x - 1 ) = 8$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{11}{6} = 1\frac{5}{6} \approx 1.833333333$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Divide both sides by 3.

$$2x-1=\frac{8}{3}$$

Add 1 to both sides.

$$2x=\frac{8}{3}+1$$

Convert 1 to fraction \frac{3}{3}.

$$2x=\frac{8}{3}+\frac{3}{3}$$

Since \frac{8}{3} and \frac{3}{3} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$2x=\frac{8+3}{3}$$

Add 8 and 3 to get 11.

$$2x=\frac{11}{3}$$

Divide both sides by 2.

$$x=\frac{\frac{11}{3}}{2}$$

Express \frac{\frac{11}{3}}{2} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{11}{3\times 2}$$

Multiply 3 and 2 to get 6.

$$x=\frac{11}{6}$$
