Question

Panama wants to solve the equation 1/3 ( x - 7) = 4To begin , she multipiles both sides of the equation by 3 what should she do next?

Answer 1

Add 7 to each side

Explanation:

1/3 ( x - 7) = 4

After multiplying both sides by 3

3*1/3 ( x - 7) = 4*3

( x - 7) = 12

We want to isolate x

Add 7 to each side

x - 7+7 = 12+7

x = 19

Answer 2

Question:

`(1)/(3)(x-7)=4`

Step 1: Multiply both sides by 3

`\begin{gathered} (1)/(3)(x-7)=4 \\ 3*(1)/(3)(x-7)=4*3 \\ 1(x-7)=12 \\ x-7=12 \end{gathered}`

Step 2: To find the value of x, Add 7 to both sides

`\begin{gathered} x-7=12 \\ x-7+7=12+7 \\ x=19 \end{gathered}`

Hene,

The final answer is add 7 to both sides
