M 3/4x - 9 = 27 two step equations

Isolate the x. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other.

First, add 9 to both sides

3/4x - 9 (+9) = 27 (+9)

3/4x = 36

Next, multiply 4/3 to both sides

(4/3)(3/4)x = 36(4/3)

x = 36(4/3)

Simplify.

x = 12(4)

x = 48

48 is your answer for x.

hope this helps

x = 48

To find this, follow these steps:

3/4x - 9 = 27

Add 9 to both sides:

3/4x = 36

Multiply by 4 on both sides:

3x = 144

Then divide by 3 on both sides:

x = 48

Hope this helps!
