Question

Six less than the product of 4 and a number equals 3

Answer 1

x=2.25

Explanation:

(4*x)-6=3

Add six to both sides to cancel it out

4*x=9

Divide both sides by 4 to cancel out

x=2.25

Answer 2

1 Subtract 6 from both sides.

-4x=3-6

2 Simplify 3-6 to -3

-4x=-3

3 Divide both sides by -4.

x=-3/-4

4 Two negatives make a positive.

x=3/4
