Question

Solve the equation. If necessary

Answer 1

Answer:

Exact form: x=19/9

decimal form: x=2.1r

Mixed number form: x=2 1/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable.

Answer 2

Answer:

x = $\frac{19}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

First, make all the different parts into fractions with a common denominator, so that you can add and subtract them easily. In this case, the common denominator is four.

Doing this, you get  $\frac{3}{4} x + \frac{8}{4} x = -\frac{1}{4} + \frac{2}{4} x + \frac{20}{4}$

Isolate all the variables to get $\frac{3}{4} x + \frac{8}{4} x - \frac{2}{4} x = -\frac{1}{4} +\frac{20}{4}$

Then, combine like terms $\frac{9}{4} x = \frac{19}{4}$

Multiply both sides by 4 to get 9x=19

Divide both sides by 9, and you get $x= \frac{19}{9}$

Hope this helps! :)
