2(ax+3)=4x-3(4x+8)

Solution

2 (a x + 3) = 4 x - 3 (4 x + 8)

Solution

x = - \frac{15}{a + 4}; a \neq = - 4

Solution steps

2 (a x + 3) = 4 x - 3 (4 x + 8)

Expand

- 3 (4 x + 8) : - 12 x - 24

2 a x + 6 = 4 x - 12 x - 24

Add similar elements:

4 x - 12 x = - 8 x

2 a x + 6 = - 8 x - 24

Expand

2 (a x + 3) : 2 a x + 6

2 a x + 6 = - 8 x - 24

Move

6

to the right side

2 a x = - 8 x - 30

Move

8 x

to the left side

2 a x + 8 x = - 30

Factor

2 a x + 8 x : 2 x (a + 4)

2 x (a + 4) = - 30

Divide both sides by

2 (a + 4); a \neq = - 4

x = - \frac{15}{a + 4}; a \neq = - 4
