Option #1 (and the fastest):
Multiply both sides by 3 to cancel the “divided by 3” on the left side where z is.
z/3 • 3 = 5/4 •3
z = 15/4
Option #2: Cross multiply and then solve for z:
z/3 = 5/4 -> 4z=15
Then divide by 4.
4z/4 = 15/4
z = 15/4
3/4x=15 you flip 3/4 to 4/3 and cancel it out on one side leaving x by itself then you multiply 4/3 by 15 and you get 60/3 and that equals 20 x=20
X represents the number of books you have. If you say to a friend "I have more than 25 books" then you can write "x > 25" which says "x is greater than 25"
Something like x = 50 will make x > 25 since 50 is larger than 25. In contrast, a value like x = 20 is going to make x > 25 false because 20 > 25 is false (20 is smaller than 25, not larger)
