Question

Solve for x
1/4 (x-16)=3/4
x = 19
x = 16
X = -19
x=-16
*

Answer 1

The solution to the equation is x = 19.

Explanation:

To solve for x in the equation 1/4(x-16) = 3/4, we can follow these steps:

1/4(x-16) = 3/4

First, let's multiply both sides of the equation by 4 to eliminate the fraction:

4 * 1/4(x-16) = 4 * 3/4

Simplifying:

x - 16 = 3

Next, let's isolate x by adding 16 to both sides of the equation:

x - 16 + 16 = 3 + 16

Simplifying:

x = 19

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 19.
