Let's start by solving this equation using distribution method:

4(x - 3) = 2x + 7

4x - 12 = 2x + 7.

Move like terms on one side:

4x - 2x = 7 + 12

2x = 19

x = 9.5

Let's plug in x for 4x-3:

4x - 3

4 * 9.5 - 3

38 - 3

35

4x - 3 = 35

Answer:

35

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Distribute

4(x - 3) = 2x + 7

4x - 12 = 2x + 7

Step 2:  Add 12 to both sides

4x - 12 + 12 = 2x + 7 + 12

4x = 2x + 19

Step 3:  Subtract 2x from both sides

4x - 2x = 2x + 19 - 2x

2x = 19

Step 4:  Divide both sides by 2

2x / 2 = 19 / 2

x = 9.5

Step 5:  Plug in 9.5 for x into 4x - 3

4x - 3

4(9.5) - 3

38 - 3

35

Answer:  35
