Finger [1]2 years ago

7 0

Answer:

$x=\frac{8}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{3}{4} x+5=7$

Subtract 5 from both sides.

$\frac{3}{4}x+5-5=7-5$

Simplify.

$\frac{3}{4}x=2$

Multiply both sides by 4.

$4*\frac{3}{4} x=2*4$

Simplify.

$3x=8$

Divide both sides by 3.

$\frac{3x}{3} =\frac{8}{3}$

Simplify.

$x=\frac{8}{3}$
