Question

Solution for 3/4x - 12 = -18?

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

Add 12 on both sides

You get 3/4x = -6

Multiply 4/3 on both sides

You get x = -24/3

Simplify and you get -8.

Answer 2

Answer:

x=-8

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason why x is -8 is because

The first step is to isolate the x

To isolate the x you got to add 12 to both sides

$\frac{3}{4}$x-12+12=-18+12

the -12 gets canceled out by the positive twelve so all thats left now is

$\frac{3}{4}$x=-18+12,-18+12 is -6 so its  $\frac{3}{4}$x=-6

The second step is to divide

now you have to divide by $\frac{3}{4}$ on both sides

$\frac{\frac{3}{4} x}{\frac{3}4} } =\frac{-6}{\frac{3}{4} }$

which $\frac{3}{4}$ is taken out on the left side because its divided by itself so all thats left is a one,while on the right side -6 divided by three-fourths is -8
