Question

please help! How would I find x in the proportion 4x-3/x = 2x/x? I'm confused because there are x's in all the denominators and numerators

Answer 1

does it mean (4x-3)/x=2x/x

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

\[\frac{ 4x-3 }{ x } =\frac{ 2x }{ x }\]

Answer 4

(4x-3)/x=2x/x
multiply both sides by x to get ride of the fractions
4x-3=2x
-4x -4x
-3=-2x
divide both sides by -2
3/2=x

Answer 5

Oh okay, I understand. Thank you so much for your help! I appreciate it!
