Answer:

X=4

Explanation:

1/3(30x-12)=36

One solution was found :

x = 4

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

1/3*(30*x-12)-(36)=0

Step by step solution :

Step 1 :

1

Simplify —

3

Equation at the end of step 1 :

1

(— • (30x - 12)) - 36 = 0

3

Step 2 :

Step 3 :

Pulling out like terms :

3.1 Pull out like factors :

30x - 12 = 6 • (5x - 2)

Equation at the end of step 3 :

2 • (5x - 2) - 36 = 0

Step 4 :

Step 5 :

Pulling out like terms :

5.1 Pull out like factors :

10x - 40 = 10 • (x - 4)

Equation at the end of step 5 :

10 • (x - 4) = 0

Step 6 :

Equations which are never true :

6.1 Solve : 10 = 0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

6.2 Solve : x-4 = 0

Add 4 to both sides of the equation :

x = 4

One solution was found :

x = 4
