Question

Solve for x. + 6 = 10 4 1 16 64

Answer 1

ANSWER: x = 16

SOLUTION:

1) Multiply both sides of the equation by 4:

x/4 + 6 = 10 ------> x + 24 =40

2) Move the constant (+ 24) to the right-hand side and change its sign:

x = 40 - 24

3) Subtract the numbers:

x + 16 (simplified)

Answer 2

Answer: First, turn the mixed fraction 16 1/4 into a improper fraction. It would become 65/4

x+65/4=64

Next, I would multiply the entire equation by 4 to get rid of the fraction

It would become 4x+65=256

Now solve for X

4x=191

x=191/4

x=47.75
