Math Problem Statement

3/(4-x)=6

Solution

We are given the equation:

34x=6\frac{3}{4 - x} = 6

To solve for xx, follow these steps:

Step 1: Eliminate the fraction

Multiply both sides of the equation by 4x4 - x to get rid of the denominator:

3=6(4x)3 = 6(4 - x)

Step 2: Distribute the 6 on the right-hand side

3=246x3 = 24 - 6x

Step 3: Isolate the xx-term

Subtract 24 from both sides:

324=6x3 - 24 = -6x

21=6x-21 = -6x

Step 4: Solve for xx

Divide both sides by -6:

x=216=72x = \frac{-21}{-6} = \frac{7}{2}

Thus, the solution is:

x=72orx=3.5x = \frac{7}{2} \quad \text{or} \quad x = 3.5
