# x = 34/5 #

First step : multiply out the bracket.

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

Second step : eliminate fraction in this case multiply ALL terms on both sides of the equation by 2.

8x- 24 + 3 x = 6x + 10

third step : collect like terms normally variables on the left hand side and numbers on the right.

8x+3x - 6x = 10 + 24

fourth step : solve

5x = 34

divide both sides by 5

#x = 34/5 #
