MEDALLLL PLZZ HELP!
SOLVE FOR X: 3/4(x-12)=12

Answer 1

you need to isolate x's from constant terms (this is how we solve equations)
Thus, divide by 3/4 =>
x-12=16
x=28

Answer 2

So the answer is 28 @P0sitr0n

Answer 3

Can you help me with 1 more problem? @P0sitr0n

Answer 4

What do you need help with?

Answer 5

3/4y-12=12 solve for y? @taylorz115820

Answer 6

Is it the same thing as for x?

Answer 7

Isolate y

Answer 8

do you know what to do 1st?

Answer 9

divide?

Answer 10

No you isolate the variable last after you have everything else away from it

Ex. 2x - 4 = 4 To love this equation you would first +4 to both sides in order to get 2x=8 then you would divide 2 from both sides to get the answer of x=4

Answer 11

Make sense?

Answer 12

yea but I always get confused whenever there's a fraction? @taylorz115820

Answer 13

A fraction where?

Answer 14

x = 28

Answer 15

We are on a different problem now

Answer 16

oh what is it

Answer 17

3/4y-12=12 solve for y

Answer 18

Trying to get her to understand when to add or multiply or whatever 1st

Answer 19

y in (-oo:+oo)

(3/4)*y = 12 // - 12

(3/4)*y-12 = 0

3/4*y-12 = 0 // + 12

3/4*y = 12 // : 3/4

y = 12/3/4

y = 16

y = 16

Answer 20

I think you did it wrong why is there a 0 it is supposed to be 12

Answer 21

hold on

Answer 22

So whats the answer?

Answer 23

(3/4)y-12=12
+12+12
(3/4)y = 24
Divide by the reciprocal of 3/4 which is 4/3 which then you would really be multiplying 4/3•24 which = 32

Answer 24

So y = 32

Answer 25

So the answer is 32?

Answer 26

Thanks

Answer 27

and if you plug 32 for y you should get 12

Answer 28

yea

Answer 29

okay thanks both of you guys :)
