I have no idea how to start. I cannot remember how to solve this for anything.
3x/4+6=-12
3x/4+6=-12
subtract 6 from each side to get
3x/4+6-6 = -12-6
3x/4 = -18
When this is reduced to a single term on each side of the equal sign, multiply by the reciprocal of the coefficient of the term containing the unknown, namely the reciprocal of 3/4.
3x/4 *4/3 = -18 * 4/3
x = -18*4/3
= -24
Thank you! :)
You're welcome!
No problem! I can help you with that equation.
To solve the equation 3x/4 + 6 = -12, we'll follow these steps:
Step 1: Move the constant term (6 in this case) to the other side of the equation by subtracting it from both sides:
3x/4 = -12 - 6
Step 2: Simplify the right side of the equation:
3x/4 = -18
Step 3: Multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of the coefficient of x, which is 4/3. This will eliminate the fraction:
(4/3) * (3x/4) = (4/3) * (-18)
Step 4: Simplify both sides of the equation:
x = -24
Therefore, the solution to the equation 3x/4 + 6 = -12 is x = -24.
