Solve for x? x/4-3/4=5?

Question

Solve for x? x/4-3/4=5?

Answer 1

x/4-3/4=5 (original)

(x-3)/4=5 (combined under one denominator)

x-3=(4)5 (moved 4 over, changed operation to multiplication)

x-3=20

x=20+3 (moved 3 over)

x=23

Answer 2

(x / 4) - (3 / 4) = 5 Simplify (x / 4) - (3 / 4) because they have a common denominator

(x - 3) / 4 = 5 / 1 Cross Multiply

1 (x - 3) = 20

x - 3 = 20 Add 3 to both sides

x = 23

Plug your answer back into the original equation and check to see if it equals 5.

Answer 3

x - 3 = 20

x = 23

Answer 4

Hi,

Multiply every term by 4 to eliminate fractions. Then solve for x.

x/4 - 3/4 = 5

4(x/4) - 4(3/4) = 4(5)

x - 3 = 20

x = 23

x = 23 <==ANSWER

I hope that helps!! :-)
