Answer Details

We can solve the given equation by using the distributive property of multiplication and combining like terms:

6(x - 4) + 3(x + 7) = 3
6x - 24 + 3x + 21 = 3
9x - 3 = 3
9x = 6
x = 6/9

Simplifying the fraction 6/9, we get:

x = 2/3

Therefore, the solution to the given equation is x = 2/3. So, the correct answer is:

2/3
