Lesson Steps

Step Type Explanation Answer

1

Problem

Simplify the equation:
\$ (2((4x+7)/6) - 1)/2 + 5 = 3 \$

2

Step

After simplification

\$ (\cancel(2)^1((4x+7)/6))/(\cancel(2)^1) - 1/2 + 5 = 3 \$

3

Step

After cancellation

\$ (((4x+7)/6) - 1/2) + 5 = 3 \$

4

Step

Adding "-5" on both sides

\$ ((4x+7)/6) - 1/2 + \cancel(5) - \cancel(5) = 3 - 5 \$

5

Step

After cancellation

\$ (4x+7)/6 - 1/2 = - 2 \$

6

Step

Taking LCM as "6"

\$ (4x + 7 - 3)/6 = -2 \$

7

Step

After Simplification

\$ (4x + 4)/6 = -2 \$

8

Step

Multiplying "6" on both sides

\$ (4x + 4)/\cancel(6)^1\times\cancel(6)^1 = -2\times6 \$

9

Step

After cancellation

\$ 4x + 4 = -12 \$

10

Step

Adding "-1" on both sides

\$ 4x + \cancel4 - \cancel4 = -12 - 4 \$

11

Step

After cancellation

\$ 4x = -16 \$

12

Step

Dividing "4" on both sides

\$ (\cancel(4)^1x)/\cancel(4)^1 = -(\cancel(16)^4)/\cancel(4)^1 \$

13

Step

After cancellation

x = - 4
