Answer:
[tex]x=4\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The first thing I would do here is distribute.
If we distribute, our equation is now
[tex]3x+8x-12=8x+1[/tex]
Then I want to isolate the variable, combining like terms as I go.
[tex]11x-12=8x+1\\3x=13\\x=\frac{13}{3}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{13}{3}[/tex] can then be simplified to [tex]4\frac{1}{3}[/tex]. So,
[tex]x=4\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
Hope this helps!
