Hi,
1/4of X means 1/4*x=16
then 3/4 of x means 3/4*x=?
we can write 3(1/4)x
put 1/4*x=16
3(16)=48

You might find it easiest to do this: 1) find the value of x, and then 2) find 3/4 of x.

If 1/4 of x is 16, multiply both sides of this equation by 4, to clear out the fraction. What do you get? This is the value of x you wanted. Now multiply this value of x by 3/4. The result is your answer.

(y-5)/2=(y+6)/3 solve

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

The solution of the given equation represented in the task content can be determined by first evaluating the LCM and hence is; y= 27.

<h3>What is the solution of the equation as given in the task?</h3>

The given equation is; (y-5)/2=(y+6)/3.

Hence, by multiplying the equation by 6, we have;

3(y-5) = 2(y+6)

3y -15 = 2y +12

y = 27.

Hence, it follows that the value of y which is a solution to the equation is; y = 27.
