Question

3/4(x-16)=2(x-3) +4 what is x equal to

Answer 1

x=-8

Explanation:

3/4( x -16) = 2 ( x- 3) +4

3/4x - 3/4*16 = 2x - 6 + 4

3/4 x -12 =2x -2

-2x = -2x

________________

-5x/4 -12 = -2

+2 = +2

_____________

-5x/4 = 10

x=- 10*4/5

x= -8

Answer 2

Explanation:

`\tt{} (3)/(4) (x - 6) = 2(x - 3) + 4`

`\tt{} (3)/(4) x - (9)/(2) = 2x - 6 + 4`

`\tt{} (3)/(4) x - (9)/(2) = 2x - 2`

`\tt{}3x - 18 = 8x - 8`

`\tt{}3x - 18 = - 8 + 18`

`\tt{} - 5x = 10`

`\tt{}x = - 2 \\ \\`
