(8x+12):12-(3x+6):12=3 equation
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
(8*x+12)/12-(3*x+6)/12 = 3
Expand brackets in the left part
8*x/12+12/12-3*x/12-6/12 = 3
Looking for similar summands in the left part:
1/2 + 5*x/12 = 3
Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$\frac{5 x}{12} = \frac{5}{2}$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 5/12
x = 5/2 / (5/12)
We get the answer: x = 6
