Q. Solve for x x and write your answer in simplest form.\newline14(6x+1)3=12x -\frac{1}{4}(6 x+1)-3=\frac{1}{2} x \newlineAnswer: x= x=
  1. Distribute and Simplify: First, we need to simplify the equation by distributing the (14)-(\frac{1}{4}) across the (6x+1)(6x+1).\newlineCalculation: (14)(6x+1)=(14)6x(14)1=32x14-(\frac{1}{4})(6x+1) = -(\frac{1}{4})\cdot 6x - (\frac{1}{4})\cdot 1 = -\frac{3}{2}x - \frac{1}{4}
  2. Addition to Isolate x: Next, we add the equation to both sides to isolate the xx terms on one side.\newlineCalculation: -\frac{\(3\)}{\(2\)}x - \frac{\(1\)}{\(4\)} + \(3 = (\frac{11}{22})x
  3. Combine Like Terms: Now, we combine like terms on the left side of the equation.\newlineCalculation: 32x+314=12x-\frac{3}{2}x + 3 - \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{2}x\newlineTo combine the constant terms, we need a common denominator, which is 44.\newlineCalculation: 32x+(124)(14)=12x-\frac{3}{2}x + \left(\frac{12}{4}\right) - \left(\frac{1}{4}\right) = \frac{1}{2}x\newlineCalculation: 32x+(114)=12x-\frac{3}{2}x + \left(\frac{11}{4}\right) = \frac{1}{2}x
  4. Addition to Combine xx Terms: We then add 32x\frac{3}{2}x to both sides to get all the xx terms on one side.\newlineCalculation: 114=12x+32x\frac{11}{4} = \frac{1}{2}x + \frac{3}{2}x
  5. Combine x Terms: Now we combine the x terms on the right side of the equation.\newlineCalculation: (114)=(22)x+(32)x(\frac{11}{4}) = (\frac{2}{2})x + (\frac{3}{2})x\newlineCalculation: (114)=(52)x(\frac{11}{4}) = (\frac{5}{2})x
  6. Multiply by Reciprocal: To solve for xx, we multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 52\frac{5}{2}, which is 25\frac{2}{5}.\newlineCalculation: 114×25=x\frac{11}{4} \times \frac{2}{5} = x
  7. Final Solution: Finally, we multiply the fractions to find the value of xx.\newlineCalculation: x=(11×2)/(4×5)x = (11 \times 2) / (4 \times 5)\newlineCalculation: x=22/20x = 22 / 20\newlineCalculation: x=11/10x = 11 / 10
