Question

3/4(48-16x) = 4(4 +2x)

Answer 1

Let's solve this problem step by step.

3/4(48−16x)=4(4+2x)

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

3/4

(48−16x)=4(4+2x)

(3/4)(48)+(3/4)(−16x)=(4)(4)+(4)(2x)(Distribute)

36+−12x=16+8x

−12x+36=8x+16

Step 2: Subtract 8x from both sides.

−12x+36−8x=8x+16−8x

−20x+36=16

Step 3: Subtract 36 from both sides.

−20x+36−36=16−36

−20x=−20

Step 4: Divide both sides by -20.

-20x/-20=-20/-20

So, the answer for this problem is x=1.
