first, look for a common denominator. LCM(3,4,8,6,12) = 24
So, multiply it all by 24:
8(x+1) + 6(3x-2) = 3(x+5) - 4(7x-1) - 74
expand the terms:
8x+8+18x-12 = 3x+15-28x+4-74
8x+18x-3x+28x = 15+4-74-8+12
51x = -51
x = -1
Steve, I see it clearly now....thank you
After a few dozen more, these will be no problem.
