Question

`(x + 4)/(3) = 6`
how do u solve this

Answer 1

Multiply both sides by 3 to cancel out the 3 in the denominator of the left side of the equal sign. You get:

x + 4 = 18

Now subtract 4 from both sides to get variables one side, constants on the other.

x = 18 - 4
x = 14

Your answer is x = 14
