Answer
x = $\frac{11}{12}$
Work Step by Step
4(3x - 2) = -1 + 4
Apply distributive property:
4(3x) + 4(-2) = -1 + 4
Simplify:
12x - 8 = 3
Add 8 to both sides:
12x = 11
Divide both sides by 12:
x = $\frac{11}{12}$
Check with substitution:
4(3($\frac{11}{12}$) - 2) = -1 + 4
4($\frac{11}{4}$ - 2) = 3
4($\frac{3}{4}$) = 3
3 = 3
