Answer:
[tex]x = \frac{-3}{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
3(x - 4) = 11x
Expand the brackets:
3x - 12 = 11x
Subtract 3x from both sides to isolate the -12:
3x - 12 = 11x
3x - 3x - 12 = 11x - 3x
-12 = 8x
8x = -12
Divide both sides by 8:
[tex]\\\frac{8x}{8} = \frac{-12}{8}\\x = \frac{-12}{8}\\[/tex]
Simplify fraction:
[tex]x = \frac{-12}{8}[/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{-12 \div 4}{8 \div 4}\\x = \frac{-3}{2}[/tex]
Hope this helps!
