Question

3/4x - 3 = 5/6 Rewrite the equation below so that it does not have fractions.

Do not use decimals in your answer.

Answer 1

18x - 72 = 20

Explanation:

`\rm \implies (3)/(4) x - 3 = (5)/(6) \\ \\ \rm \implies (3)/(4) x - 3 * (4)/(4) = (5)/(6) \\ \\ \rm \implies(3)/(4) x - (12)/(4) = (5)/(6) \\ \\ \rm \implies (3x - 12)/(4) = (5)/(6) \\ \\ \rm \implies \frac{3x - 12}{ \cancel{4}} * \cancel{4} = (5)/(6) * 4 \\ \\ \rm \implies 3x - 12 = (20)/(6) \\ \\ \rm \implies (3x - 12) * 6 = \frac{20}{ \cancel{6}} * \cancel{6} \\ \\ \rm \implies 18x - 72 = 20`
