Question

How do you solve `(x-3)/4=2`?

Answer 1

x = 11

Explanation:

If we multiply both sides of the equation by 4 then we eliminate the fraction.

`color(red)cancel(4)^1xx(x-3)/(color(red)cancel(4)^1)=color(red)(4)xx2`

we are now left with : x - 3 = 8

Add 3 to both sides to solve for x

`x-cancel(3)+cancel(3)=8+3`

`rArrx=11`
