1. add 3/4 to both sides of the equation.
2. divide both sides by -2/3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
wait, subtract not add the first step

-8x + 9 = 4
-8x = -5
x = 5/8
OpenStudy (anonymous):
(2/(3x+3)/4)=1/3
time flip
(2*4)/(3x+3)=1/3
(8/(3x+3)=1/3
cross mutiplfy
3x+3=24
3x= 24-3
x = 21/3
x= 7

If you follow order of operations, thats not the right way to solve it.

x = 5/8

It seems that x=5/8 is the answer because when I plug in 5/8, the answer works out. Thanks y'all. :)
