Question

2/3x - 4 = 20 what is the simplest form

Answer 1

36

Explanation:

The goal is to get x by itself, in order to do that you have to get rid of the other numbers, and you have to do it ON EACH SIDE OF THE EQUATION

`(2)/(3) x -4+4` =20+4

-4 + (+4) = 0

So that leaves

`(2)/(3)x = 24`

Next is to get rid of the
`(2)/(3)` by multiplying the numerator by itself.

`(2)/(3) * 3 = 24*3`

Which leaves

`2x=72`

Now just divide 2 because it's multiplication.

2x ÷ 2 = 72 ÷ 2

2x / 2 cancels each other out and leaves x

and 72 ÷ 2

= 36
