Solve the equation 3x+2(4x-6)=8x+1 what is the value of x

3x + 2(4x - 6) = 8x + 1

Expand the brackets by multiplying everything INSIDE (4x - 6) by the number directly outside (2):

3x + 8x - 12 = 8x + 1

Collect like terms (everything with the same letters):

11x - 12 = 8x + 1

Isolate 11x by adding 12 to both sides:

11x = 8x + 13

Isolate 13 by taking 8x off both sides:

3x = 13

Divide both sides by 3 to get the value of x:

x =

step-by-step explanation:

this is not a question

(f - g)(x) = 5x^3 - 3

step-by-step explanation:

rearrange these functions vertically, with like terms in separate columns:

f(x) = 5x^3 - 2

g(x) =         +1

now subtract, column by column:

(f - g)(x) = 5x^3 - 3
