4x/3=x+5

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

if you want to solve it multiply both sides by 3 4x = 3x + 15 then solve as normal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4x/3=x+5 So what do you think we have to do first?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Get rid of the fraction

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Exellent!, and how would we do that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4/3 x 3 = 4 then 5 x 3 = 15

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
