Tìm x, biết: (12x – 5)(4x – 1) + (3x – 7)(1 – 16x) = 81

Rút gọn vế trái:

VT = (12x – 5)(4x – 1) + (3x – 7)(1 – 16x)

     = 12x.(4x – 1) + (–5).(4x – 1) + 3x.(1 – 16x) + (–7).(1 – 16x)

     = 12x.4x+ 12x.(–1) + (–5).4x + (–5).(–1) + 3x.1 + 3x.(–16x) + (–7).1 + (–7).(–16x)

     = 48x2 – 12x – 20x + 5 + 3x – 48x2 – 7 + 112x

     = (48x2 – 48x2) + (– 12x – 20x + 3x + 112x) + (5 – 7)

     = 83x – 2

Vậy ta có:

83x – 2 = 81

       83x = 81 + 2

       83x = 83

           x = 83 : 83

           x = 1.
