Q. Solve for x \mathrm{x} .\newline2(4x+1)+3x+1=12 2(-4 x+1)+3 x+1=-12 \newlineAnswer:
  1. Distribute and Simplify: First, distribute the 22 into the parentheses.2(4x)+2(1)+3x+1=122(-4x) + 2(1) + 3x + 1 = -128x+2+3x+1=12-8x + 2 + 3x + 1 = -12
  2. Combine Like Terms: Combine like terms on the left side of the equation.\newline8x+3x+2+1=12-8x + 3x + 2 + 1 = -12\newline(8+3)x+(2+1)=12(-8 + 3)x + (2 + 1) = -12\newline5x+3=12-5x + 3 = -12
  3. Isolate x Term: Subtract 33 from both sides to isolate the term with xx.\newline5x+33=123-5x + 3 - 3 = -12 - 3\newline5x=15-5x = -15
  4. Solve for x: Divide both sides by 5-5 to solve for x.\newline5x/5=15/5-5x / -5 = -15 / -5\newlinex=3x = 3
