Question

Does anyone know what x is - 3/4 (x+2)=6

Answer 1

$\bold{Answer}$

$\boxed{\bold{X \ = \ -10}}$

$\bold{Explanation}$

• $\bold{Simplify: \ -\frac{3}{4}\left(x+2\right)=6}$

$\bold{-------------------}$

• $\bold{Multiply \ Both \ Sides \ By \ -4}$

$\bold{\left(-\frac{3}{4}\left(x+2\right)\right)\left(-4\right)=6\left(-4\right)}$

• $\bold{Simplify}$

$\bold{3\left(x+2\right)=-24}$

• $\bold{Divide \ Both \ Sides \ By \ 3}$

$\bold{\frac{3\left(x+2\right)}{3}=\frac{-24}{3}}$

• $\bold{Simplify}$

$\bold{x+2=-8}$

• $\bold{Subtract \ 2 \ From \ Both \ Sides}$

$\bold{x+2-2=-8-2}$

• $\bold{Simplify}$

$\bold{X \ = \ -10}$

$\boxed{\bold{Eclipsed}}$

Answer 2

-10.

Solution: Multiply the negative three fourths by everything in the parenthesis.

$- \frac{3}{4} x + ( - \frac{3}{2} ) = 6$

Add the negative three halves to both sides.

$- \frac{3}{4} x = \frac{15}{2}$

Multiply both sides by negative four thirds.

$x = - 10$
