Solve the following equation, answer as a reduced, mixed number. Then place the correct number in the box provided. 4 (7x - 1) = 3 (2x + 1) - 4 (x + 6)

The correct answer is x = - 17/26

Step-by-step explanation:

First, what we do is expand this equation:

4 (7x-1) = 28x-4

and

3 (2x+1) - 4 (x+6) = 6x+3-4x-24=2x-21

Equalling this two equations:

28x-4=2x-21

Passing terms

28x-2x=-21+4 = > 26x = - 17 = > x = - 17/26

Thus the answer is x = - 17/26
