Question

Solve the equation.4[x+1/3]=20

Answer 1

So first we need to divide both sides by four. The four on the left side will cancel out and the right side will become 5. Next we have

x+1/3=5

Now we need to subtract both sides by 1/3. The 1/3 will cancel out and the 5 will become 4 2/3.

All we will be left with is x

x = 4 2/3

Answer 2

`x=(14)/(3)`

Explanation:

Open the brackets.

`4x +(4)/(3)=20`

`4x=(56)/(3)`

`x=(14)/(3)`
