Solve 8x-3(2x+1)-4=6x+3x+4

$$8 x - 3 ( 2 x + 1 ) - 4 = 6 x + 3 x + 4$$

Solve for x

$$x = -\frac{11}{7} = -1\frac{4}{7} \approx -1.571428571$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply -3 by 2x+1.

$$8x-6x-3-4=6x+3x+4$$

Combine 8x and -6x to get 2x.

$$2x-3-4=6x+3x+4$$

Subtract 4 from -3 to get -7.

$$2x-7=6x+3x+4$$

Combine 6x and 3x to get 9x.

$$2x-7=9x+4$$

Subtract 9x from both sides.

$$2x-7-9x=4$$

Combine 2x and -9x to get -7x.

$$-7x-7=4$$

Add 7 to both sides.

$$-7x=4+7$$

Add 4 and 7 to get 11.

$$-7x=11$$

Divide both sides by -7.

$$x=\frac{11}{-7}$$

Fraction \frac{11}{-7} can be rewritten as -\frac{11}{7} by extracting the negative sign.

$$x=-\frac{11}{7}$$
