Question

Solve for x. 3/4(8x-12) = 2/3(6x+12)

Answer 1

Okay, so-


First, let’s change the layout of the equation

[12*3(8x-12)]/4=[12*2(6x+12)]

Then, factor

3*3(8x-12)=4*2(6x+12)

After that, multiply

9(8x-12)=8(6x+12)

Now, you’ll have this

72x-108=48x+96

Subtract 48x from each side, and you’ll have-

24x-108=96

Then, add 108 to each side, and you’ll have this

24x=240

One of the last steps now, divide 24 from both sides, and your final product should be down below

x=17/2
