Answer:

  x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

After you simplify the left side by eliminating parentheses and collecting terms, you have a 2-step linear equation.

  -3(4x +3) +4(6x +1) = 43 . . . . . . given

  -12x -9 +24x +4 = 43 . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  12x-5 = 43 . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms (now a 2-step equation)

  12x = 48 . . . . . . . . . . step 1, add the opposite of the unwanted constant

  x = 4 . . . . . . . . . . . step 2, divide by the coefficient of x

The solution is x = 4.

Check

  -3(4·4 +3) +4(6·4 +1) = 43 . . . . substitute for x

  -3(16 +3) +4(24 +1) = 43

  -3(19) +4(25) = 43

  -57 +100 = 43 . . . . . true
