B. {7/3}
C. {3/2}
D. {11/2}

Answer 1

\(\LARGE\color{blue}{ \bf 4x-\frac{1}{3}=7 }\)

\(\LARGE\color{blue}{ \bf 4x=7+ \frac{1}{3}}\)

\(\LARGE\color{blue}{ \bf 4x=\frac{22}{3}}\) divide both sides by 4 ...

\(\LARGE\color{blue}{ \bf 4x=\frac{22}{12} = \frac{11}{6} = 1\frac{5}{6}}\)

Answer 2

divide what by 4? @SolomonZelman

Answer 3

the last step...

\(\Huge\color{blue}{ \sf 4x= \frac{22 }{3} }\)

\(\Huge\color{blue}{ \sf 4x÷4= \frac{22 }{12} ÷4}\)

\(\Huge\color{blue}{ \sf x= \frac{22 }{12} }\)
