Answer 1

@Susanna @foolofatook @annie12m Can any of you please help?

Answer 2

Please clarify the problem.

I don't understand what the 3
4

represents in your

3
4
(x−12)=12.

Answer 3

it means 3/4 or 3 over 4 @mathmale

Answer 4

are you meaning that the equation is 3/4(x-12)=12 ?
or the 3/4 is apart ?

Answer 5

The equation is 3/4(x-12)=12

Answer 6

oh then you should distribute first

Answer 7

sorry to seem picky, but it's essential that you learn how to present math problems accurately here. Otherwise, time and effort (including yours) will be lost.

In this case, I'd suggest you write "three fourths" as (3/4), or \[\frac{ 3 }{ 4 }, \]

Answer 8

or

Answer 9

By 3
4
(x−12)=12

did you mean\[\frac{ 3 }{ 4 }(x-12)=12?\]

Answer 10

she did mean that i believe so

Answer 11

If I've gotten that wrong, please fix it.

Else, focus now on the 2nd equation and put it into proper form.

Answer 12

My internet isnt working good, it keeps shutting on and off sorry for not replying so quickly, but yes that is what i meant to say @mathmale

Answer 13

So, your first equation is \[\frac{ 3 }{ 4 }(x-12)=12\]and your second is ... ?

Answer 14

Surprisingly, these two equations are independent...we don't need one to solve the other.

All you need to do with the first is to "solve for x."

Answer 15

I'll wait for you to post your second equation here.
