Question

3 ( x - 1/4 ) = 13/6

Answer 1

x = 17/36

Explanation:

3(x - 1/4) = 13/6

3x - 3/4 = 13/6

Make common denominators by multiplying 3/4 by 6/6 and 13/6 by 4/4 to get:

3x - 18/24 = 52/24

Now subtract 18/6 from both sides to get:

3x = 34/24

3x = 17/12 or 1 15/12

To find x, divide both sides by three to get:

x = 17/36

Answer 2

x = 35/36

Explanation:

3(x-1/4) = 13/6 Distribute

3x-3/4=13/6 Add 3/4 on both sides

3x = 35/12 Divide by 3 on both sides

x = 35/36
