Question

Value of x in 4(3x – 1) + 1 = 15 – (2 – 8x)

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

4 ( 3x - 1 ) + 1 = 15 - ( 2 - 8x )

12x - 4 + 1 = 15 - 2 + 8x

12x - 3 = 13 + 8x

12x - 8x = 13 + 3

4x = 16

x = 16 / 4

x = 4

Answer 2

Explanation

4(3x-1)+1=15-(2-8x)

12x-4+1=15-2+8x

12x-3 = 13+8x

-3-13 = 8x-12x

-16 = -4x

16 = 4x

x = 16/4

x = 4

ANSWER

x = 4
