B. 1
C. 7
D.16
Only if the equation is
8/2 = (x+3)/4
if it is the way you typed it, then x = 13/4
oh..... but it dosent have parentheses on my test, and 13/4 or 3.(I forget numbers after 3) isn't an answer
But I bet on your test, it shows up as a fraction with x+3 as the numerator and 4 as the denominator.
The problem is in typing a fraction as text, you will have to declare the numerator and denominator with brackets
btw, was the left side really written as 8/2 ? That would just be 4, why make things more complicated than they have to be?
8 x+3
- = -
2 4
it didn't send right but you get the point right?
Yes.
That's what I was trying to tell you.
It is very hard to type fractions in this format here, so we have to use brackets to identify numerators and denominators.
To solve for x in the equation 8/2 = x + 3/4, we can follow these steps:
Step 1: Simplify the equation if possible.
8/2 can be simplified to 4, so the equation becomes 4 = x + 3/4.
Step 2: Isolate x by subtracting 3/4 from both sides.
4 - 3/4 = x + 3/4 - 3/4
4 - 3/4 = x
Step 3: Find the common denominator for 4 and 3/4. In this case, the least common denominator is 4.
4 * (4/4) - 3/4 = x
16/4 - 3/4 = x
13/4 = x
Therefore, the solution for x is 13/4.
