-2 + 3(4x - 3) = 16
-2 + 12x - 9 = 16
-11 + 12x = 16
-11 + 11 + 12x = 16 + 11
12x = 27
12x/12 = 27/12
X = 2 3/12
X = 2 1/4

Answer:

I'd say x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

use distributive property first to get...

-2 + 12x - 9 = 16

now look for the like terms and solve...

-2 + 12x -9 = 16

+2 +2

12x -7+7 = 16 +7

12x = 24

/12 /12

x=2
