Question

3/4(x + 3) = 9


How do I solve this

Answer 1

x = 10

Explanation:

so first distribute the 3/4 to everything on the inside

3/4x + 1 1/2 = 9

now subtract 1 1/2 on both sides

3/4x = 7 1/2

Now divide both sides by 3/4

x = 7 1/2 divided by 3/4

x = 15/2 divided by 3/4

x = 15/2 times 4/3

x = 5/1 times 2/1

x = 10
