Answer:
[tex]x=\frac{-11}{8} \\\\[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given equation:
[tex]3(2x + 1) + 2(x + 4)[/tex]
Taking the standard form of the equation to solve for 'x':
[tex]3(2x + 1) + 2(x + 4)=0[/tex]
Solving the brackets:
[tex]3(2x)+3(1)+2(x)+2(4)=0[/tex]
[tex]6x+3+2x+8=0[/tex]
Adding the like terms:
[tex]8x+11=0[/tex]
Subtracting '11' both sides:
[tex]8x+11-11=-11[/tex]
[tex]8x=-11[/tex]
Dividing by '8' both sides:
[tex]x=\frac{-11}{8} \\\\[/tex]
