Answer:

x = 12

Explanation:

2 = 3/4x - 7

2 + 7 = 3/4x

9 = 3/4x

9 × 4x = 3

36x = 3

x = 36/3

x = 12

Answer: x = 12

Explanation:


2=(3)/(4)x-7

Add 7 on both sides to get rid of the 7 and isolate x.


+7+2=(3)/(4)x-7+7


9=(3)/(4)x

Now multiply both sides by
(4)/(3) to eliminate it and isolate x.


((4)/(3))(9)=((3)/(4)x) ((4)/(3))


12=x

Proof;


2=(3)/(4)x-7\\2=(3)/(4)(12)-7\\2=9-7\\2=2
