Which best describes the following equation of 3 (5x + 8) = 4 (6x + 9)

x = - 4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Distribute

3 (5x + 8) = 4 (6x + 9)

15x + 24 = 24x + 36

Step 2: Subtract 15x from both sides

15x + 24 - 15x = 24x + 36 - 15x

24 = 9x + 36

Step 3: Subtract 36 from both sides

24 - 36 = 9x + 36 - 36

-12 = 9x

Step 4: Divide both sides by 9

-12 / 9 = 9x / 9

-4/3 = x

Answer: x = - 4/3
