Question
Solve for x
: 4(3x+2)+3=35
.(1 point)
x=

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( 4(3x + 2) + 3 = 35 \), we'll follow these steps:

1. Distribute the 4: \[ 4 \cdot 3x + 4 \cdot 2 + 3 = 35 \] This simplifies to: \[ 12x + 8 + 3 = 35 \]

2. Combine like terms: \[ 12x + 11 = 35 \]

3. Subtract 11 from both sides: \[ 12x = 35 - 11 \] Thus, \[ 12x = 24 \]

4. Divide both sides by 12: \[ x = \frac{24}{12} \] Therefore, \[ x = 2 \]

So the solution is \( x = 2 \).
