Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation 1/4 (12 x + 8) + 4 = 3, to fnd the result of the equation, the following steps must be followed.

Step 1: Expand the bracket at the left hand side of the equation using the distributive property.

1/4 (12 x + 8) + 4 = 3

$\frac{1}{4} (12x)+\frac{1}{4}(8) + 4 = 3\\ 3x+2+4 = 3\\3x+6=3$

Step 2: Subtract 6 from both sides of the equation

$3x+6-6 = 3-6\\3x =-3\\x = \frac{-3}{3}\\ x = -1$
