i need help with two step equations

Question

i dont understand how to solve this equation please help

-3(4x+3)+4(6x+1)=43itrais means

Answer 1

Step 1: expand the parentheses by distributing what's outside:

-12x-9+24x+4=43.

Step 2: group like terms:

12x-5=43.

Step 3: add 5 to each side:

12x=48.

Step 4: divide each side by 12:

x=4 is the solution.

If you're able to, combine steps 1 and 2 and then combine steps 3 and 4.
