3(x+4)-12=4 3/5+2x
3x+12-12=4 3/5+2x
3x=2x+4 3/5
x=4 3/5

\(3(x+4) - 12 = {4 3\over 5} + 2x\\ 12x+12 - 12 = {4 3\over 5} + 2x\\ 12x = {4 3\over 5} + 2x\\ 12x-2x = {4 3\over 5} + 2x-2x\\ 10x = {4 3\over 5} \\ x={4 3\over {5*10}} \\ x={4 3\over {50}} \\\)
I do not remember seeing that \over command in LaTex before. Thanks.
Now I have just got to remember if :)
+5265 Melody, I wish for none of this to be offensive, but I think you have done your maths incorrectly. 3(x+4)=3x+12, not 12x+12. Guest, 4 3/5=4.6, or four and three-fifths, not 4*(3/5)(in words four times, in parentheses, three divided by five.)

Thanks rarinstraw and Chris, my second step is most certainly incorrect.
{4 3\over 5}
Clara, this is unclear, you are right to think that it looks like it means 4+3/5 BUT
it is written in LaTex and it does really mean 43/5 like I put :)
Copy it and then open LaTex using the button above button.
Now paste it in press enter and see what the output looks like :)
