solve each equation for the variable

OpenStudy (lyric.life):

\[\frac{ 4 }{ 3 }x+5=13\]

OpenStudy (sunnnystrong):

@lyric.life ... What would you do first?

OpenStudy (lyric.life):

turn the fraction into a decimal..?

OpenStudy (sunnnystrong):

Hm.. you could but that would make your life harder possibly. maybe try subtracting both sides by five first, right?

OpenStudy (sunnnystrong):

\[\frac{ 4 }{ 3 }x=8\] @lyric.life ... Than what next?

OpenStudy (lyric.life):

\[\frac{ 4 }{ 3}x=8\] then turn it into a decimal .. or multiply 8 on both sides idk ;-;

OpenStudy (sunnnystrong):

Hmm... so to clear the fraction you would multiply by the reciprocal *

OpenStudy (sunnnystrong):

reciprocal of 4/3... which is 3/4

OpenStudy (sunnnystrong):

What's x @lyric.life :D

OpenStudy (lyric.life):

3/4? um, so multiply 8 by 3/4?

OpenStudy (sunnnystrong):

Yep! and what do you get? :D

OpenStudy (lyric.life):

24/32?

OpenStudy (lyric.life):

or 24/4?

OpenStudy (sunnnystrong):

second one *** and you can reduce that further --> x= ? :D

OpenStudy (lyric.life):

x=6?
