Question

Solve the following equation. x/3 - 4 = 10

Answer 1

x/3 - 4 = 10

+4 +4

x/3 = 14

3 X x/3 = 14 x 3

x = 42

Check:

42/3 - 4 = 10

14 - 4 = 10

10 = 10

Answer 2

Answer: x=42

Explanation:

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

- Solve for x.

- Add 10 and 4.

- Multiply the sum of 10 and 4 by 3. You must move it from the left member to the right member. Then, if 3 is dividing x, this will multiply the sum of 10 and 4. So, you have:

`x/3=10+4\\x/3=14\\x=42`

Therefore, you obtain that the value of x is 42
