Question

Does anyone know what x is - 3/4 (x+2)=6

Answer 1

`\bold{Answer}`

`\boxed{\bold{X \ = \ -10}}`

`\bold{Explanation}`

• 
  `\bold{Simplify: \ -(3)/(4)\left(x+2\right)=6}`

`\bold{-------------------}`

• 
  `\bold{Multiply \ Both \ Sides \ By \ -4}`

`\bold{\left(-(3)/(4)\left(x+2\right)\right)\left(-4\right)=6\left(-4\right)}`

• 
  `\bold{Simplify}`

`\bold{3\left(x+2\right)=-24}`

• 
  `\bold{Divide \ Both \ Sides \ By \ 3}`

`\bold{(3\left(x+2\right))/(3)=(-24)/(3)}`

• 
  `\bold{Simplify}`

`\bold{x+2=-8}`

• 
  `\bold{Subtract \ 2 \ From \ Both \ Sides}`

`\bold{x+2-2=-8-2}`

• 
  `\bold{Simplify}`

`\bold{X \ = \ -10}`

`\boxed{\bold{Eclipsed}}`

Answer 2

-10.

Solution: Multiply the negative three fourths by everything in the parenthesis.

`- (3)/(4) x + ( - (3)/(2) ) = 6`

Add the negative three halves to both sides.

`- (3)/(4) x = (15)/(2)`

Multiply both sides by negative four thirds.

`x = - 10`
