K why dont you start off by getting rid of that 4.

OpenStudy (narissa):

thanks

OpenStudy (blondie_b23):

Okay do we are solving for x and we need to isolate it.

OpenStudy (blondie_b23):

After you take off the 4, what do you get?

OpenStudy (blondie_b23):

OpenStudy (blondie_b23):

I drew it below. Do you understand what I did?

OpenStudy (narissa):

yes

OpenStudy (blondie_b23):

The next step would be to distribute the 3/4

OpenStudy (blondie_b23):

Do you know how to do that?

OpenStudy (blondie_b23):

OpenStudy (blondie_b23):

It's basically when you multiply the exterior number to both numbers in the parenthesis.

OpenStudy (blondie_b23):

Do you see what I did?

OpenStudy (blondie_b23):

Then, take 9 from both sides

OpenStudy (blondie_b23):

OpenStudy (blondie_b23):

You are left with 1.2x=12 Simply divide both sides by 1.2 and you have your answer.

OpenStudy (blondie_b23):

You get 10.

OpenStudy (blondie_b23):

To check, just replace x with 10 in the original equation.

OpenStudy (blondie_b23):

So, we know that the answer is 10 :)

OpenStudy (blondie_b23):
