Question

How do you solve `3/4(4/5x-2)=11/4`?

Answer 1

`color(green)(85/12 color(black)(" or ")7 1/12)`

Explanation:

`3/4(4/5x-2)=11/4`

Multiplying both sides by `4`
`rarr 3(4/5x-2)=11`

Expanding the right side
`rarr (12x-30)/5=11`

Multiplying both sides bye `5`
rarr 12x-30 =55#

Adding `30` to both sides
rarr 12x =85#

Dividing both sides by `12`
`rarr x= 85/12=7 1/12`
