Question

What is the answer for 4x+1/3=20?

Answer 1

Answer: x = 59/12

Step-by-Step Solution:

4x + 1/3 = 20
(4 * 3)x/3 + 1/3 = 20
12x/3 + 1/3 = 20
12x + 1 = 20 * 3
12x + 1 = 60
12x = 60 - 1
12x = 59
=> x = 59/12

Therefore, x = 59/12

Answer 2

x = 59/12

Explanation:

4x + 1/3 = 20

4x = 20 - 1/3

12x/3 = 60/3 - 1/3

12x = 60 - 1

12x = 59

x = 59/12

Check:

4*59/12 + 1/3 = 20

236/12 + 4/12 = 20

240/12 = 20
