SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME 3/4(x+4)=1/4(x+8)
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

x=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this equation, we can use PEMDAS or Order of Operations.

Parenthesis

Exponents

Multiplication>Division

Addition>Subtraction

Using the various properties can also help make the equation easier.

First, solve for parenthesis using the distributive property.

Our equation is now : 3/4x+3=1/4x+2

Now, subtract 2 on both sides, to cancel out the positive 2 on the right.

3/4x+1=1/4x

Now subtract 3/4x from both sides.

1=-2/4x

Finally, to isolate x, divide both sides by -2/4

1/-2/4=-2

x=-2

Hope this helps!

Stuck on question 1, can anyone help???
poizon [28]

'A' is the square root of 25. That's 5, so take A=5 with you
as you go to the next step.

B is A³.   A³ means (A x A x A).  We know that 'A' is 5, so 'B' is (5x 5 x 5) = 125 .
Take B=125 with you to the next step.

'C' is  B - 25.  We know that  'B'  is 125.  So  C = (125 - 25) = 100 .
Take  C=100  with you to the next step.

'D' is the square root of  'C'.  We know that C=100, so  D = √100 .
The square root of 100 is 10, so  D=10.
Take  D=10  with you to the next step .

'E' is  D+39.  We know that  D=10.  So  E=(10+39) = 49 .
Take  E=49 with you to the last step.

'F' is the square root of 'E'.  We know that E=49.
