Answer:
x = 3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
4X + 1/2(4X +6)=12
Distribute
4x+2x+3 = 12
6x +3 = 12
Subtract 3 from each side
6x+3-3 = 12 -3
6x = 9
Divide each side by 6
6x/6 = 9/6
4x + 2x + 3 = 12 ← distribute the 1/2 to both numbers in the parentheses
6x + 3 = 12 ← subtract 3 on both sides
6x = 9 ← divide by 6 on both sides
