If 4x= 7/9, then x equals?

Question

please if you can, help me solve this. its been a while since ive done any algebra. Please show how to get answers. Thank you

Answer 1

4x= 7/9

x= 7/36 ---Divide both sides by 4.

Answer 2

4x = 7 / 9

you need to get rid of the 4 on the left side so that x is by itself. to do that you divide both sides by four so you get:

4x/4 = 7/ (9*4)

the two fours on the left side cancel each other out so it is reduced to

x = 7/(9*4)

and just multiply it out

x = 7/36

and it cannot be reduced any further. there is your answer =)

Answer 3

4x=7/9

a*b=c

b=c/a

a=4, b=x, c=7/9

x= =7/9:4 or 7/9*1/4 = 7/36

Answer 4

4x = 7/9

Divide each side by 4:

x = 7/36

( . 1 . . . . 7 . . . . . 7

. ---- . x . ---- . = . ----

. .4 . . . . .9 . . . . .36)
