Answer:
x=10
Step-by-step explanation:
3(4x-12) = 84
Divide each side by 3
3/3(4x-12) = 84/3
4x-12 =28
Add 12 to each side
4x-12+12 = 28+12
4x= 40
Divide each side by 4
4x/4 = 40/4
x = 10
Oh I get this.
So what you have to do is leave the same denominator and just count. Once a fraction has the same numerator and denominator that means it is a whole number.
5/9 is closer to 1
Hope this helps!
