4(3x - 1) = 24
First, divide both sides by 4. / Your problem should look like: 3x - 1 = [tex] \frac{24}{4} [/tex] .
Second, simplify [tex] \frac{24}{4} [/tex] to 6. / Your problem should look like: 3x - 1 = 6.
Third, add 1 to both sides. / Your problem should look like: 3x = 6 + 1.
Fourth, simplify 6 + 1 to 7. / Your problem should look like: 3x = 7.
Fifth, divide both sides by 3. / Your problem should look like: x = [tex] \frac{7}{3} [/tex] which is your answer.
