Question

x plus x over 4 equals fifteen, show the steps

Answer 1

\(\huge \frac{x+x}{4}=15\)
?

start by simplifying the numerator

Answer 2

\[x+\frac{x}{4}=15\]??

Answer 3

wait no you probably meant \(\large x+\frac{x}{4}=15\)

Answer 4

get the left side into a common denominator first

Answer 5

haha yeah sorry. this is for my little brother. I cant figure it out

Answer 6

suprisingly, this is your first math question

Answer 7

anyhow get x into terms of s omething over 4
\(\huge x=\frac{?}{4}\)

Answer 8

still lost

Answer 9

Hint:
Multiply both sides by 4 /.\

Answer 10

you have to get \(x+\frac{x}{4} \) into a single thing of the format \(\large \frac{something}{4}\)

Answer 11

so x + x/4(4) = 15(4)?

Answer 12

no u have to multiply the x by 4 to cuz you are multiplying all of both sides

Answer 13

You multiply both terms on the left side too
So
\[\Huge x+\frac{ x }{ 4 }=15\]
\[\Huge x(4)+\frac{ x }{ 4 }(4)=15(4)\]

Answer 14

you don't have to worry about the right hand side.
first step is get the left hand side over a common denominator.
so we have \(\huge x+\frac{x}{4}=15\\\huge\frac{4x}{4}+\frac{x}{4}=15\\\huge\frac{4x+x}{4}=15\\\large\frac{5x}{4}=15\)

Answer 15

We need the final answer to be in the format of, x = 12

Answer 16

well yeah, simplify the last statement

Answer 17

lol how? i havent done math in years. this is for my little brothers hw

Answer 18

start by multiplying both sides by the denominator, then divide to isolate x further

tbh I like cam's method a lot more

Answer 19

\(\large x(4)+\frac{ x }{ 4 }(4)=15(4)\)
\(\large 4x+x=60\)
\(\large 5x=60\)
x=12

Answer 20

youre my favorite person lol thank you bibby!

Answer 21

hmm wait it might be x=15

Answer 22

no its 12, we looked it up in the back of the book

Answer 23

damn I fricked up then

Answer 24

wait no I d idn't yay

Answer 25

5x/4=15
5x=60
x=12

Answer 26

you did it right though lol

Answer 27

I'm so proud of myself
