Answer:

4 is the [ ] in whole part.

Explanation:

Given equation [(x-1)/3]=(x+3)/4

Let us first get rid denominators from both sides.

On cross multiplying both sides, we get

4(x-1) = 3(x+3)

4x-4 = 3x+9

Adding 4 on both sides, we get

4x-4+4 = 3x+9+4

4x = 3x +13

Subtracting 3x on both sides, we get

4x-3x = 3x-3x +13

x = 13.

Now, we need to find the value of [ ] fraction We have [(x-1)/3] in given equation.

Plugging x= 13 in (x-1)/3, we get

13-1/3 = 12/3 = 4.

Therefore, 4 is the [ ] in whole part.
