Answer:
x = 11/5
____________________________________________________
Step-by-step explanation:
We are solving for x:
3(4 – 2x) = -x + 1
Distribute the 3 to the 4 and -2x
12 - 6x = -x + 1
Add x to both sides to get the x's together
12 - 5x = 1
Subtract both sides by 12
-5x = -11
Divide by -5. Two negatives turn into a positive.
x = 11/5
