Question

1/4x-2=2x-9
find value for x

Answer 1

Answer: x=4

1. Multiply both sides by 4 to get rid of the denominator, which gives you x-8 = 8x-36
2. Subtract 8x from both sides, which gives you x - 8 - 8x= -36

3. Add 8 to both sides, which gives you x - 8x = -36 + 8

4. Simplify, -7x = -28

5. Divide both sides by -7, x = -28/-7

6. the negative signs cancel and you just get 4

Answer 2

Add 2 to both sides.

1/4x=2x-7

Multiply both sides by 4

x=8x-28

-8x from each side.

-7x=-28

divide both sides by -7

X=4
