Question

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME 3/4(x+4)=1/4(x+8)

Answer 1

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!
