Question

3x-4
----- = -2
2

Answer 1

is 3x

Answer 2

I have to find x

Answer 3

Multiply both sides by a constant to simplify the equation.
Multiply both sides of (3 x-4)/2 = -2 by 2:
(2 (3 x-4))/2 = -2×2
Cancel common terms in the numerator and denominator of (2 (3 x-4))/2.
(2 (3 x-4))/2 = 2/2×(3 x-4) = 3 x-4:
3 x-4 = -2×2
Multiply 2 and -2 together.
2 (-2) = -4:
3 x-4 = -4
Isolate terms with x to the left hand side.
Add 4 to both sides:
3 x+(4-4) = 4-4
Look for two terms that sum to zero.
4-4 = 0:
3 x = 4-4
Look for two terms that sum to zero.
4-4 = 0:
3 x = 0
Divide both sides by a constant to simplify the equation.
Divide both sides of 3 x = 0 by 3:
(3 x)/3 = 0/3
Any nonzero number divided by itself is one.
3/3 = 1:
x = 0/3
Any number times zero is zero.
0/3 = 0:
Answer would be x = 0
