Question

Solve for the variable in this equation.
1/4(2x-12)=2/3(3x+9)
x=

Answer 1

\[1/4(2x-12)=2/3(3x+9)\] multiply by 12 to get
\[3(2x-12)=8(3x+9)\] distribute to get
\[6x-36=24x+72\] and it should be good from there

Answer 2

subtract \(6x\) from both sides \[-36=18x+72\] subtract 72 from both sides
\[-108=18x\]divide by 18
\[x=-6\]

Answer 3

Oh so the answer is -6

Answer 4

is it?
