Question

I need you someone to solve this and show their work. Tell me why the answer is 4.

Answer 1

x = 4

Explanation:

You begin by making what is inside the brackets = 0. In other words you will somehow get 0 * brackets + 3 = 3

x - 4 = 0

x - 4 + 4 = 0 + 4

x = 4. When you make x = 4, the inside of the brackets = 0

1/2 * 0 = 0

So you are left with

3 = 0 + 3

and x has been made = 4

Do what's in the brackets before anything else.
