Okay first add 4 to both sides. What's 4 + 12?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

16

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep, that gives us 16 = 2x/3 Now multiply 3 to both sides. What's 16 * 3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

48

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep, that gives us: 48 = 2x. Now divide 2 to both sides, what's 48 / 2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

24

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep, that's your answer.
