Start with solving the ones in parenthesis. Distribute 3 to the equation inside the ()

3(x-4)=-4.3-x

3x-12=-4.3-x

Put all the similar variables together

3x+x=12-4.3

4x=7.7

Isolate x by diving 4 to both sides of the equation

4x/4=7.7/4

cancel out the 4 in the left

x=7.7/4

3 (x – 4) = -4.3 – x

Distribute

3x – 12 = -4.3 – x

+x +x

Add ‘x’ ^ cancels out

4x – 12 = -4.3

+12 +12

cancels add twelve

4x = 7.7

divide by 4

7.7 / 4 = 1.925

therefor, x = 1.925

3x -12=-4.3-x

Combine like terms

2x=7.7

x=3.85
