Question

Okay... here we go.
a/b(2x-12)=c/d

Answer 1

what are you looking to do/find?

Answer 2

x

Answer 3

i got ad/2bc + 6=x

Answer 4

How though?

Answer 5

What do you need to solve for?

Answer 6

ok so you're going to distribute the b, so that you get 2xb-12b. Then rewrite your equation with that in place of what you had before

Answer 7

Then after that, you need to cross multiply

Answer 8

When you do that, you should get AD=C(2Bx-12B). tell me if you get confused on that.

Answer 9

okay hold on. and im solving for x.

Answer 10

Wait where does the a go?

Answer 11

the A gets multiplied by the D...then you multiply the C by (2Bx-12B) to get the answer i gave you above

Answer 12

This is so confusing.

Answer 13

lol, give me a minute and ill type it up for you

Answer 14

okay thanks.

Answer 15

\[a \div b(2x-12)= c \div d\]

Answer 16

so this is your original equation. draw this with the a in the numerator and the c in the numerator. Then multiply the A and the D. See how they're across from each other? thats cross multiplying. then multiply the C and the (2Bx-12B) and put that answer on the other side of the equal sign

Answer 17

okay! I get it. thanks.

Answer 18

That's not exactly right @rjeffries96

Answer 19

The equation is this:

\(\large\frac{a(2x-12)}{b} = \frac{c}{d}\)

Answer 20

Here are the steps:

1. Multiply both sides by variable b
2. Divide both sides by variable a
3. Add 12 to both sides
4. Divide both sides by 2
5. variable x is isolated
