12x+3(x-4)=-7 equation
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
12*x+3*(x-4) = -7
Expand brackets in the left part
12*x+3*x-3*4 = -7
Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-12 + 15*x = -7
Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$15 x = 5$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 15
x = 5 / (15)
We get the answer: x = 1/3
