Answer:
the value of x=8
Explanation:
In order to solve the x in question
3/4(x - 16) = -2(x -3) + 4
let us get started by rearragging and opening the brackets
3(x-16)/4 = -2(x-3) + 4
(3x - 48)/4 = -2x +6 +4
(3x - 48)/4 = -2x +10
multiply through by 4
we have,
3x -48 = -8x + 40
collect the like terms
3x+8x = 40 + 48
11x = 88
divide both sides by 11
11x/11 = 88/11
x = 8
