Which is the solution of the equation 1/4 ( 3x - 1 ) = 2x -2/3
agasfer [191]

Answer:

x = 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Perform the indicated multiplication:

Clear out the fractions.  The LCD here is 12, so multiply both sides by 12, obtaining:

3(3x - 1) = 24x - 8, or

9x - 3 = 24x - 8

Combining like terms, we get 5 = 15x, so that x = 1/3.
