Math Problem Statement

solve: 4=3/7(3x+14)

Solution

We will solve the equation step by step:

Given equation:

4=37(3x+14)4 = \frac{3}{7}(3x + 14)

Step 1: Eliminate the fraction

Multiply both sides of the equation by 7 to get rid of the denominator:

4×7=3(3x+14)4 \times 7 = 3(3x + 14)

28=3(3x+14)28 = 3(3x + 14)

Step 2: Distribute the 3 on the right-hand side

Now distribute the 3:

28=9x+4228 = 9x + 42

Step 3: Move the constant to the other side

Subtract 42 from both sides to isolate the term with xx:

2842=9x28 - 42 = 9x

14=9x-14 = 9x

Step 4: Solve for xx

Divide both sides by 9:

x=149x = \frac{-14}{9}

Thus, the solution is:

x=149x = \frac{-14}{9}

  3. Solve: 6=23(9x+21)6 = \frac{2}{3}(9x + 21)
  4. Solve: 2=75(x+10)2 = \frac{7}{5}(x + 10)
  5. Solve: 3=94(2x+8)3 = \frac{9}{4}(2x + 8)

Tip: When solving equations with fractions, eliminate the fraction by multiplying both sides by the denominator first.
