Math Problem Statement

1/4x - 3y = 4

Solution

To solve the equation 14x3y=4\frac{1}{4}x - 3y = 4, we can express it in terms of one variable or solve it for a particular variable.

Solving for xx:

  1. Start by isolating xx. 14x3y=4\frac{1}{4}x - 3y = 4
  2. Add 3y3y to both sides: 14x=3y+4\frac{1}{4}x = 3y + 4
  3. Multiply both sides by 4 to get rid of the fraction: x=4(3y+4)x = 4(3y + 4) x=12y+16x = 12y + 16

Thus, the equation solved for xx is: x=12y+16x = 12y + 16
