Answer:

x = 3

Explanation:

Solve for x:

(4 x)/3 = 4

Hint: | Multiply both sides by a constant to simplify the equation.

Multiply both sides of (4 x)/3 = 4 by 3/4:

(3×4 x)/(4×3) = 3/4×4

Hint: | Express 3/4×4/3 as a single fraction.

3/4×4/3 = (3×4)/(4×3):

(3×4)/(4×3) x = 3/4×4

Hint: | Express 3/4×4 as a single fraction.

3/4×4 = (3×4)/4:

(3×4 x)/(4×3) = (3×4)/4

Hint: | Cancel common terms in the numerator and denominator of (3×4 x)/(4×3).

(3×4 x)/(4×3) = (4×3)/(4×3)×x = x:

x = (3×4)/4

Hint: | Cancel common terms in the numerator and denominator of (3×4)/4.

(3×4)/4 = 4/4×3 = 3:

Answer: x = 3
