Question

3/2x+4=-9

Answer 1

I did 4/1+3/2x=-9+4

Answer 2

When you wanted to remove the +4 on the left side, you subtract both sides with 4. What was your mistake here?

Answer 3

No I didn't even finish the problem I added four to both sides
and sice 3/2 is a fraction I put four over one

Answer 4

That's the thing: You are supposed to subtract both sides with 4 since you want +4-4 on the left side and remove the +4.

Answer 5

so actually I subtract four from both sides?

Answer 6

Yes. So that you will have only the expression with x on the left side.

Answer 7

So the fraction would be -4/1 ?

Answer 8

Can you tell me what you are doing to have that fraction?

Answer 9

You cant subtract a whole number from a fraction and since your subtracting from both sides and I happen to have a fraction I wouldn't put four over one?

Answer 10

On the left side you have\[\frac{ 3 }{ 2 }x+4-4\]Why do you need to change anything into fractions? You will just have 3/2x left, no?

Answer 11

3/2 x + 4 = -9
-4 -4
3/2 x = -13
(2/3)(3/2) x = -13 (2/3)
x = -26/3

Answer 12

Ah man I was subtracting from the left I was subtracting four from the
fraction instead of four from four

Answer 13

When you subtract, add, multiply or divide on either side, you do it to everything on that side as one element. Writing brackets might help.
