Step-by-step explanation:

Vanessa is trying to solve the equation for x.

The given equation is -3 + 4x = 9, or 4x - 3 = 9

She shouldn't be subtracting any number in the beginning. Instead, she should do the opposite of PEMDAS:

1) Vanessa should add 3 to both sides:

4x - 3 (+3) = 9 (+3)

4x = 9 + 3

4x = 12

2) Next, she should divide 4 from both sides:

(4x)/4 = (12)/4

x = 12/4

x = 3

Vanessa's answer will be x = 3.

At the beginning, you begin with one whole that's been split into 25 pieces, or 25ths. Before you cover any of them up, you still have all 25, so you have 25 25ths, or, as a fraction, $\frac{25}{25}$ . Next, you take away 3 of those 25ths, or $\frac{3}{25}$ , which leaves you with $\frac{25-3}{25}$ , or $\frac{22}{25}$ .
