Question

3/4(x-16)=2(x-3) +4 what is x equal to

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

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

$\tt{} \frac{3}{4} x - \frac{9}{2} = 2x - 6 + 4$

$\tt{} \frac{3}{4} x - \frac{9}{2} = 2x - 2$

$\tt{}3x - 18 = 8x - 8$

$\tt{}3x - 18 = - 8 + 18$

$\tt{} - 5x = 10$

$\tt{}x = - 2$

Answer 2

Answer:

x=-8

Step-by-step explanation:

3/4( x -16) = 2 ( x- 3) +4

3/4x - 3/4*16 = 2x - 6 + 4

3/4 x -12 =2x -2

-2x = -2x

________________

-5x/4 -12 = -2

+2 = +2

_____________

-5x/4 = 10

x=- 10*4/5

x= -8
