Answer:
All real numbers are solutions (hope that helps)
Step-by-step explanation:
12x+1=3(4x+1)−2
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
12x+1=3(4x+1)−2
12x+1=(3)(4x)+(3)(1)+−2(Distribute)
12x+1=12x+3+−2
12x+1=(12x)+(3+−2)(Combine Like Terms)
12x+1=12x+1
12x+1=12x+1
Step 2: Subtract 12x from both sides.
12x+1−12x=12x+1−12x
1=1
Step 3: Subtract 1 from both sides.
1−1=1−1
0=0
