Solve:

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

Steps to solve:

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

~Distribute

(3 * 4) + (3 * - 2x) = - x + 1

~Simplify

12 - 6x = - x + 1

~Subtract 12 to both sides

12 - 12 - 6x = - x + 1 - 12

~Simplify

-6x = - x - 11

~Add x to both sides

-6x + x = - x + x - 11

~Simplify

-5x = - 11

~Divide - 5 to both sides

-5x/-5 = - 11/-5

~Simplify

x = 11/5

Best of Luck!

11/5 = x

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Distribute

12 - 6x = - x+1

Add 6x to each side

12 - 6x+6x = 6x-x + 1

12 = 5x + 1

Subtract 1 from each side

12-1 = 5x+1-1

11 = 5x

Divide each side by 5

11/5 = 5x/5

11/5 = x
