Answer:
x = -1/7
Decimal form = -0.14285714285
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]6\left(4x+5\right)=3\left(x+8\right)+3[/tex]
[tex]24x+30=3x+27[/tex]
[tex]\mathrm{Subtract\:}30\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}[/tex]
[tex]24x+30-30=3x+27-30[/tex]
[tex]\mathrm{Simplify}[/tex]
[tex]24x=3x-3[/tex]
[tex]\mathrm{Subtract\:}3x\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}[/tex]
[tex]24x-3x=3x-3-3x[/tex]
[tex]\mathrm{Simplify}[/tex]
[tex]21x=-3[/tex]
[tex]\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}21[/tex]
[tex]\frac{21x}{21}=\frac{-3}{21}[/tex]
[tex]x=-\frac{1}{7}[/tex]
