Answer: It’s pretty simple! Let me explain!

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Multiply! (To get rid of those disastrous parentheses)

-1/2x+4 = 3/4x-4

2. Even it out!

+4 and -4 cancel out (it basically means they equal 0) so you don’t have to worry about that :D

3. Divide by multiplying the reciprocal (to find x, the most hated letter, bc…math)

-1/2 times 4/3

4. Simplify (well it’s already simplified as much as it can be sooo…just leave it like that)

2/3 = x (I think)

5. Check!

You never want to be unsure of your answer so go plug in 2/3 into the original equations as x and see if they equal the same thing.

If it does, woohoo! Go, party

Hope this helps! :D
