Transcript text: Solve the equation.
\[
4(x+6)=3(x-8)+x
\]
Solution
△ Solve the equation \(4(x+6)=3(x-8)+x\).
○ Expand both sides
▷ Expand the expressions on both sides of the equation.
☼ The left side becomes \(4x + 24\) and the right side becomes \(4x - 24\).
○ Simplify equation
▷ Simplify the equation by comparing both sides.
☼ The equation simplifies to \(4x + 24 = 4x - 24\).
○ Analyze result
▷ Determine the implications of the simplified equation.
☼ Subtracting \(4x\) from both sides results in \(24 = -24\), which is a contradiction.
