Answer 1

The first thing you would do is distribute the 4 to the (x+9/4) and the -2/3 to the (x+12/8), so you then get (-8/3)x+4x+9=(-2/3)x-1+3, which equals (-8/3)x+4x+9=(-2/3)x+2, then you would subtract 9 from both sides, so you get (-8/3)x+4x=(-2/3)x-7, then you add 2/3x to both sides, then you get -6/3x+4x=-7, then you simplify to -2x+4x=-7, then you can simplify that further to get 2x=-7, then you divide by 2 and you get x=-7/2 or x=-3.5, but this one says x=-7/2 so thats your answer
