Answer 3

did u mean :

Answer 4

I tried twice. one of the answers I got was 10.6 repeating

Answer 5

okay. can you show me the steps you followed?

Answer 6

You should get \[x=\frac{36}{3}\]

Answer 7

if this is what u meant than :
\[\frac{3x}2-4=14\]
\[\frac{3x}2=14+4\]
\[3x=18*2\]
\[3x=36\]
\[x=\frac{36}3\]
\[x=12\]

Answer 8

Thinking aloud here : what is the best way to isolate x in this case?
first add 4 on both sides to get rid of the -4 on the LHS
then multiply both sides by 2 to get rid of the denominator in the LHS
then divide by 3 on both sides to get x on the LHS all by itself

Answer 9

I see what I did wrong, I forgott to make it 3x/2 the second time I tried the problem
Thanks everyone!
