The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
x+(x*3) = 168
Expand brackets in the left part
x+x*3 = 168
Looking for similar summands in the left part:
4*x = 168
Divide both parts of the equation by 4
x = 168 / (4)
We get the answer: x = 42
