# x = 3 #

Explanation:

Here, #4(3x-2) = 28#
By multiplying 4 with (3x-2), we get.
#-> 12x - 8 = 28#
# -> 12x = 28+8#
#-> 12x = 36#
# -> x = 36/12#
# :. x = 3#

To check the answer we can put the value of x .
Now, #4(3 xx 3 - 2) = 28#
#-> 4 xx 7 = 28#
#-># 28 # =# 28
So, we can conclude that our answer is correct.

Hope that helped

By arranging the equation, #x=3#

Explanation:

#4(3x-2) = 28#

After multiplying 4 by the terms in the paranthesis:

#12x - 8 = 28#

#12x = 28 + 8#

#12x = 36#

#x=36/12#

#x=3#

Your answer is #x=3#
