Question

4y+4/3 =12

`(4x + 4)/(3) = 12`
what is x?

Answer 1

`(4x+4)/(3) = 12`

Multiply both sides by 3.

4x + 4 = 36

Subtract 4 from both sides.

4x = 32

Divide both sides by 4.

x = 8

Answer 2

Multiply both sides by 3, subtract 4 from both sides, and then divide both sides by 4. (or you could cross multiply)

`(3(4x + 4))/(3) = 3(12)`

4x + 4 = 36

4x = 32

x = 8
